A REAL dent in the wallet:A set of new truck tires:puke::cry::nopity:...

[warthog]

..Ive been putting it off,but I have known I needed new tires on my truck sometime this year...A while ago,I priced 'em out,and found out that because I have the optional 17"size wheels instead of the 16" that are standard,my tires are around $200.00 more for a set for the extra 1"of wheel size- IT FIGURES.......Anyway:Im gettin 'em put on as we speak-Was quoted from $650 UP-Believe it or not-according to brand,ply,etc.....I was told the rising price of oil and rubber-NATURALLY-is driving tire prices up...a set of Michelin tires for my truck is flirting with the $1000.00 pain level......SO:Im goin with Cooper tires-at the "relatively"lower price range;and a 50,000 mile warranty...My wallets gonna be a WHOLE LOT lighter here in about an hour....

I will be getting new ones for my 17 inch size also - dont think I will spend 1 K - your reduced rate sounds better. Steve in so az

Ma, don't have a truck, so no worry! Everything is getting higher and higher, especially if it has to do with gas and oil! :sad:

God Bless!
