flat tire and Les Schwab told me....
Got a nail in a stock Advan tire. The nail is on the shoulder of the tire and I didn't think they would be able to fix it. But get this..
They wouldn't even quote me a price for a single tire... Gave me an "all wheel drive" - "different tire size" line.. Wanted to sell me all 4 tires or none..
Needless to say - I walked..! The tire only has a little over 20k miles on it..
What ya think - a load of BS or what..? BTW this is the Les Schawb in Lacey.

Yeah I don't drive my car hard, and mostly highway miles, and I STILL only managed to get 16k (which is impressive I know, I've been told that a lot) out of them. What sucks is that they wear on the outside edges, and not in the middle. I still had plenty of tread on the center section of the tire.

Wait why would you sell your rims? You just need 4 new tires... That's MAYBE 800 bucks, and that's if you get crazy tires, I got mine for 70 bucks each that are on right now and they're great.
