Default New Tires

Had 4 new Cooper Discoverer a/t3's mounted today. So far so good but I've only driven from the shop home. By the time I got home it was rainy and dark so pics will have to wait until tomorrow or Saturday... They look sweet though!

Cool. Post up some pics when you can. Cooper is a real good tire. I always liked the look of new tires on my truck. I like the new tire smell too.

I bought 'em at Pete's Tire Barn. We do business with them through work and the guy that runs this one is a real nice guy. They're probably a little more expensive them some other chains since they concentrate on commercial trucking more, but they do really good work. They did a really good job on the alignment; drives straight as an arrow now. I've had other people do alignments and it was worse then when I dropped it off. I'm willing to pay a little extra knowing they do a good job and are good people.

My buddy at work just got four new tires from Benny's since they were the cheapest and they mounted the tires backwards... You get what you pay for sometimes... actually a lot of the time.

I'll try and get a couple pics up later...

Yeah it's like going to a local hardware store where they know what they're talking about versus going to home depot or lowe's where they're clueless. And it's good to help out the local businesses.

Unfortunately no pics tonight. Too busy and still raining. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice so I promise you will have them tomorrow. Trust me I hate threads like this with no pictures. They're pointless.
