The company seems to think that if you've got worse rubber on the rear, it will increase the risk of losing control in a hydroplaning situation. At our shop, we don't care. If you buy tires from us, we'll put them wherever you want them.

I am a huge fan of Discount Tire! They have taken great care of my vehicles in the past. Their prices on rims are really great as well. Plan on buying a set for my '97 f250 this year some time.....They were only $80 or $90 per rim.

You ain't kidding! I would love to see something make Obummer ease up on the coal industry! I think that would do it. Maybe I could get back to working some overtime and GET MY CC DONE!!!!!!!!!

I agree. I work for a rebuild shop that services the coal and construction companies in the USA and can't wait to get back to how it was back in 2004. Oblama has destroyed our resources and the jobs they create.

I work for Brake Supply Co. In Evansville, In and have been on OT for almost 9 years now and they cut us back to 40's now, but it should pick back up in a week or so. Still thankful I am not in the unemployment line though! Lots of guys in the mines here out of work...

The mine i work at was one of the lucky ones this past year and didnt slow down. When the mines arent running it affects alot of people and companys.
