Yeah she said the markup is like 60% or so at a tire dealership. I just gotta figure out if there are any Bridgestones that are worth a crap. I wonder if she gets the discount on Firestones as well.

I'd look at tirerack to compare the models ..... I wouldn't be surprised if she could do FS also, same company isn't it?

Absolutely realign after installing new tires..

Shop should have never done the alignment in the first place noticing that tires were worn ..If i were a customer, I would be real upset knowing that a shop would do an alignment on my car with worn tires ..

Ok ... thanks DH.

I'd think my bro would've noticed, but then again, he's a friggen tool when it comes to his car ...... first he was going to spend 20k on a Lex ..... then realized that he can't swing the payments and found this beautiful 3.2 CL .... swore he'd take care of it and now he doesn't clean it, had to hold off on installing ne rotors and brakes because he blew too much loot on dates, has to wait to get these tires for the same reason. He blew up 2 engines with under 70k on them!!! All this and he goes around telling people how he's the Vice President of his company because my dad bought a franchise for the 2 of them and is going to give it to him soon enough ...... silver spoon up the @s$ and completely non-appreciative! Appologies for venting, but he pisses me off sometimes .... the first car he blew up was perfectly maintained by me and 1 year in college and he killed it!
