    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    You are correct...it is not your responsibility or obligation to fund/buy from anyone you think is charging too much. That doesn't make charging full retail price or extra for customer supplied parts a rip off though just because you have a work around, that's all Im saying. Thats the beauty...

    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    The quote he got isnt ripping anyone off...its a bit higher than average, but thats retail business operation and capitalism at work....no one holding a gun your head saying you gotta buy tires there. That online price you listed is notably cheaper than I can buy them from any distributor...

    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    My quoted price on those same tires in the midwest would be about $1800 installed out the door including 6.5% sales tax. Thats a bit high, but if your in Montana Im sure they are paying more freight/shipping to get them there to start with...not outside the realm of reason. Thats at a roughly...

    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    It won't be Cooper At3 unless you buy used or find old stock...that very awesome tire was discontinued. Cooper was bought by good year in 2021...most offerings have been redesigned and renamed...and if you can believe it...quality appears to have gone down IMHO. At3 was a great all around...

    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    This is mostly accurate in the states and just 1 more of many reasons tires and many other goods have gotten so expensive. With the exception of places like Costco/walmart/sams that still get "exclusive" tires not offered to the masses...that's a whole other conversation. Every shop/dealer gets...

    Truck Tire Prices - Wow...

    Tires have gotten more expensive for a multitude of reasons. One part of it most folks don't realize is that the race to the bottom price wise that was going on with alot of chain stores, where they sold tires for next to nothing profit wise figuring they'd make it up in volume, killed their...

    More truck tire questions

    Best of luck...don't wait long. We just got the inevitable "our prices are going up xx% on this and that brand due to tarrifs abd materials price increases"...from all our tire vendors. Id just stick to the 20s. Likely more options/availability...seems to be more popular wheel size...I dont...

    Partially ruptured achilles at calf...

    Compression sleeve is only relief I can get presently, definitely helps, but Soon as it comes off it just hurts constantly. Been getting by with Ice, elevation every few hrs and compression. Compression helps the most but nothing is comfortable. Ive got a scooter to get around and doing pretty...

    YNP in June (stupid questions)

    Partially ruptured achilles at calf...

    Just a quick update at 1 week in...This absolutely sucks. I'd go in and have rotator cuff surgery and meniscus repair again twice tomorrow vs this tear in the calf. It's tolerable in the boot for a bit or laid out with ice pack, but it just hurts like hell most the time and Tylenol doesn't dent...

    2015 Yukon XL - Repair or Replace (strut and AC issues)?

    Just for perspective...you could have a quality reman engine and transmission installed, replace the whole AC system and entire front steering/suspension and still only spend roughly 1/4 the cost of a new similar replacement...options are fix it as it breaks and hope you come out ahead with no...

    Business owners, marketing/sales

    Knowing the type of business your in would help. Some types of businesses will lean heavier on one or the other...some really don't require much of either...more just expertise, honesty and simply the ability to communicate effectively. Some good input above already. In my humble/personal...

    Best Advice for New Dad

    Most of the sentimental stuff has been mentioned so I'll add something practical... Save early and save often,what ever you can afford, $25/month/week...whatever. Put in high yield savings and just keep adding. Take a chunk out now and then and Open up a brokerage account with them as...

    Partially ruptured achilles at calf...

    So my assumption was mostly correct, just not as bad as I feared. Tear at lower gastrocnemius...where tendon attaches and then runs down becoming the achilles. Doc says should not require surgery presently unless things don't start to heal properly on their own. RICE, walking boot and...

    Partially ruptured achilles at calf...

    Ive read into that...i suppose its possible, much rather deal with that. Its sore/swollen, light bruising in spots from just below back of knee to 4" above ankle. My main concern is I can see deformity of calf muscle vs my good leg. Could just be swelling...I dont know. Just gonna try to...

    Partially ruptured achilles at calf...

    Appreciate the input fellas. I'm hoping I'm over thinking this and Doc just says a boot for a few weeks and sone PT. I woke up this morning wishing it was Tuesday so I can get some real direction on the matter, the timing is just terrible. It's never a good time for an injury...but...
