ME: What's your cheapest tire?
JIM: (buddy whos been in the tire business for 20 years) you don't wany my cheapest tire
ME: Yes I do, man. Look at my car, how long do you think its going to last?
JIM: I'm not selling you my cheapest tire. I wouldn't sell my ex wife that tire.
ME: Ok, how about a better cheap tire?
JIM: Dude... you don't want cheap tires.
ME: Why not?
JIM: Because I'm the guy who everyone goes to for tires, and come back when their tires are pieces of s***. I'm telling you, do NOT buy cheap tires
ME: My car ain't worth $2000, man. Why should I spend $400 on tires?
JIM: Because if you spend $200 on tires you'll be back here replacing them before your $400 tires would have been halfway worn out. And then you're going to replace THAT set, and you STILL would have had the $400 tires. Then he took me outside and showed me a dumpster full of tures from his shop that weekend. He said "Look at these tires, you see any Good Year Eagles in here? You see any Michelin's?"
then he started showing me the tires that came apart, blew out, caused accidents, etc...
Every single one of them, didn't matter what brand, they were all cheap tires.
Then he said this:
"I replace good tires when the tread wears down to nothing. I replace cheap tires (what's LEFT of them I should say) when they explode or the tread flys off...
