Tires... What a racket

Well I needed to buy some new tire for one of my cars this morning.

So I went over to one of my local tire places and got a new set of tires. All said and done they were over $700! There has to be some serious mark-up somewhere in this process. Now I understand that there are now environmental costs associated with the Tire business (recycling fees and the like), but still that seems like a lot of money.

They say these are supposedly good tires (their own brand) and they do have a good reputation and warranty service, so we shall see.

Have a great day.

Enjoy
