Decebal posted:Right ! why does everything have to be an up-sell with these places. It makes you want to avoid them and hate the people working there. Why can't it be like shopping at a grocery store. Go in, get what you want and get out without being harassed by salespeople if it's a franchise place the service writer and the mechanics are under tremendous pressure to meet some arbitrary per-ticket average price I knew a guy that managed a quick-lube place and if they didn't hit $70 on every ticket (three times the cost of an oil change) he would actually have to call his district manager and explain why he failed to upsell the ticket to $70. if he averaged below $70 for more than a week or two they would fire him.

fyodor posted:op has 16" rimz on an suv loving lol uhh. thats the proper size OP. They look normal. The tires are big and cool instead of skinny fail tires that look like they belong on a "luxury" sedan. I tried to upload a pic but imager is blocked by the web filter. try doing a google image search of 2002 pathfinder.

Revenants Return posted:sounds like you got boned Op. Brand?car they went on?we need details No, it was a good price. 225/40/19 and 245/40/19s I don't remember the model tire but they are Michelins and really excellent ultra summer all weathers. Another sobering detail is they will probably last 18 months. I used to have to change yearly on other cars, I probably averaged close to 1k a set for the last 10 years. Chepaest ever was $600 and they were so bad I never regretted tires so bad

I only buy Goodyear and they last forever. It's better than buying cheap tires that suck. Unless you're a suicidal NEET with no family to care about you. Carry on, then.

Carry on, then. unless you are driving a loving race car or some other poo poo you are pretty much a huge moron buying super expensive tires hth i like wasting money on stupid dumb poo poo but the most you're getting out of those high dollar tires is bragging rights for spending extra money on tires that you drive to work lol

Alu wheels like to corrode funny. The angle grinder helps the bead seal so you don't get slow leaks.

vols bitch posted:unless you are driving a loving race car or some other poo poo you are pretty much a huge moron buying super expensive tires hth actually if you enjoy driving and like to push it on the street, buying good tires is the best thing you can do. It's way better than exhaust or a chip or whatever because everything your car does is done through the tires. if you are going to upgrade something they should be first
