I love dealing with them. I get a price quote and they say it's the lowest they can go. I call back with a lower price and magically their price has dropped $300 over the course of a few minutes! I'll be back, gotta wheel some more ..

Thump, I thought you said you were selling your truck. That was you wasn't it? Why are you shopping for tires? Did you decide to keep it or is it for another vehicle. Just curious.

I don't know about the wheeling and dealing, but I sure do like the smell of new tires!

I do the same thing with all shops. Tires, shocks, etc. Today I went to go get those Bilsteins installed and one shop said it would be 120 dollars(told him he was about stupid) went to another shop and they did it for 30.
