is this as bad a combination as it seems? I'm rethinking my "buy local" strategy; I had shopped around last year, so when my tire failed I dropped it off at the local shop with the best price; only to be told that "prices have gone up" from $250, to $346. By the time they got done, I owe them nearly $500 for 1 tire on my little Kubota. (2 cans of primer@ $8.00 each!!) I'll pay it, but I'll never set foot in their shop again; I'll buy the other 3 tires online and mount them myself. I've already steered a friend elsewhere; she bought $650 worth of tires for her pickup from a discount store.
I know, should have done my homework; but I thought I did, & I've been doing business with these guys for years.
The worst part is, my neighbor just went in and put 2 new fronts on his Deere for $60 LESS than I was quoted last year; $240 out the door. Same tires, too; his old carcasses are going on my 'Bota.
End of rant.
