I was on my way home from Aikido Saturday and I discovered I had a flat tire as I pulled into the driveway. Bummer. I got out the spare, switched things up and headed off to my tire store, American Tire. They have done a great job over the years for me, but things seem to have changed. I noticed they were busy upselling everyone. They would go out with some fancy tool that they measured the tread with then come in to a big chart that made it look official and point out the dangers of a worn tire. Fair enough, but who made the chart? Then they presented another chart that said you must change the wipers every six months, ha. My tire was a little scuffed on the side, looks like I hit a curb, so the guy said I had to replace the tire at almost $300 bucks. I have an appointment to do just that tomorrow but I plan on getting a second opinion today….more later..
