[AT] OT Tires

[Rob Wilson]

I think it's high. I bought 4 new tires from Tire Rack had them shipped to a
local National Tire and Battery and they installed them for $30 and disposed
of the old ones for free. That was a lifetime rotate and balance deal. An
agreement with Tire Rack and NTB is if you have your purchase drop shipped
to an NTB tire disposal is free.

I apologize for this very off-topic post, but I cannot think of a more
knowledgeable group when it comes to tires.

I just purchased 4 inexpensive new tires for my son's 2002 Dodge Dakota
pickup.  $53.99 each.  Does $70 for labor seem in-line with today's market? 
It just struck me as very high. $35 for balancing and another $35 for
'labor'.

Maybe there is no margin left in tires any more. Maybe there is no margin in
$53.99 tires.  Don't know.

Again, I apologize for this off-topic thread, but it looked like a slow
tractor day on atis :)
