Don't worry not the same old tire question... Several weeks ago someone
mentioned gettting tires at Wal-mart size 28-8.5x14 (I think) from a brand I
don't remember but he claims they were made by Michelin.  I think they were
$50.00 a piece.  Anybody still have that post or the info? I dumped mine and
of course blew out the side wall in my right front tire last night.  The
other 3 are crap so I gotta do what I gotta do.  If I have to pop for some
more expensive ones than thats fine.
  I'm just tired of some dork at the tire store telling me, "they don't come
any taller than 205/14's"...I couldn't stand stupidity anymore.  I told the
salesman he didn't know his ass from his elbow (yes, the whole store heard
me), then I showed him right in HIS paperwork the various sizes and
associated heights.  WOW, lookie there Vern, a 225/70-14!  That's bigger,
ain't it?????
  Only the dealer is worse to deal with....
Sorry for venting

Thanks
