Great Tires - BUT

Be wary of rising costs. Those tires are especially susceptible to inflation.

Ugh...okay you win.

Hey...I've been meaning to ask. Is this the year you're going author another one of those cross country strings as you make your way east? I enjoyed that one you did several years ago.

Thanks for remembering. I don't know yet. I've been thinking of another cross-country adventure this coming spring. It was a fun, but long drive. I've done it four times.

Back in the day, I worked at a Lechmere Auto Service location. We sold a ton of tires. The sales guy would ask nearly every customer if they wanted winter or summer air in their tires depending on the time of year…..
You wouldn’t believe how many people actually thought he was serious…
Sometimes we would write winter air on the invoice. N/C of course.

Actually, I think my trip spawned a much more interesting response by TRFOUR, complete with some great historic photographs and narrative.

I always carry a pressurized can with goo to fix leaks. Inflation is easy. In the last several decades, I've seen many more battery failures than need for a spare tire. Jump box and cables are always handy.
