Our truck, I always called it "The Beast" was a Ford 350 Diesel 1-ton Powerstroke (Bright Red) and it too 35" tires that cost $350.00 apiece!! They were the same tires that are on my stepson's Hummer. Walmart's are a little cheaper - not much. I found one place that has them for $25 cheaper-each. So that's $100 I'll save. But it's gonna have to wait till after xmas. I pray that the new year brings much better things to all the families that are having so much financial and emotional stress this year. |
UGH! I know EXACTLY how you feel. Our tires are almost $700 a PAIR and of course, it's the kind of car that when you replace one tire, you either have to replace with the same kind of tire or you have to replace with two new ones, so if you want to go to cheaper tires, you have to buy two instead of just the one expensive one. It's like....what's worse? I want to go to cheaper tires, but so far, dh won't let me. As if I need hi performance tires just driving around town
. It sucks when you get into the car you really want and then every little thing costs a fortune and there's no way of getting around it. There must be something in the air around this time of year; seems like everything that CAN go wrong (financially) DOES
. I'll be glad to see 2008....anyone with me on that one, LOL????
I hope it all goes well for you; I know what it's like having to wait; I have to wait for my tires too, since dh just got his done (and he HAS to have decent tires since he drives on the LA freeways all the time).....my poor car is like the poor little Cinderella car
. Oh well....at least I've GOT a car
