I agree, but it's their charity. That's what's stupid about it. The numbers are insane, yet other people with a lot of money donate pretty large sums.

Not exactly. It was their father's charity, they may not agree with everything it does so may funnel their donations elsewhere. One thing that I learned a long time ago, articles such as that can be skewed to say whatever the writer wants to present, the writer may have an agenda. Quite often, it's not all the story. I just read them with a skeptical eye, in fact, I read everything with a skeptical eye.

they're fairly reasonable priced compared to some of the other so called performance tires on the market...

they're spoken highly of on some other forums that cater to gm and dodge brands....

they were bought out by Apollo tire last year along with Cooper which Goodyear let go....

If that's the case I can understand that. Idk, maybe I'm just different. If I had that kind of money and I didn't have to work a full-time job every single day, my approach would be different. If I ever do make a good sum of money, I'd like to help some people. But only those that deserve it. Not the usual garbage that leaches off our system and drains our paychecks.

I was 150 miles away working at the time....

the funnel cloud did touchdown and became a tornado by a town 20 miles SE of where this pic was taken...no damage to any structures just crops in outlying fields....
