nope, got majorly sidetracked. Gonna fire up the soldering iron soon. This whole daylight savings time crap sucks, it gets dark too early now.

never had one myself. Kinda feel like it'd be easier to deal with than trying to fluff the branches on a fake one, hate that part. Or trying to get everything to fit back in the box, that one's tricky.

Its about the same amount of pain-in-the-ass. This is the first year I've had one and you have to water it daily. Trim limbs, set it up, sap and needles. It smells good and looks great.

Howdy whores. New tires tomorrow or Friday. Looks like they'll be Bridgestones from Costco. Least expensive place with reputable name tires and large network for warranty/lifetime service. Out the door we're looking at about $650. That includes install, road hazard guarantee, lifetime balance, lifetime rotation, lifetime fill with nitrogen, disposal fee and sales tax (f'in tax rate is 9.75% in this county). Then off to Firestone for lifetime alignment.

Yeah, I checked a bunch of places. These aredmanns67 said:
Bridgestone-Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia (eco)
They get $15 for the mount, balance, lifetime rotation, lifetime balance, and nitrogen fill. That was in the $650 price.Mounce said:
I wanted to get 265/60-17, but nobody has them for a decent price. I'll check at Costco when I go if they have them as a local item, but their website only showed they carry that width and aspect ratio as an 18". If I can get a very close price for a 265/60-17 (maybe as a local item) I'll take it. The only place that showed up in multiple searches was for a Nexen tire, no mileage warranty, sold by Wally-world. I try not to do any business with them unless I absolutely must.djthumper said:

I was gunna do Bridgestone from Firestone but they told me that the light truck/SUV tires didn't have any warranty on them at all. Schwabs has what I want with lifetime warranty, free tire replacement, free flat repair, free rotation and the mounting and balancing fee is included in the price of the tire. Most of schwabs tires warranty has 50K mile warranty but with free replacement and repair hell I think it's worth it. But that's just my opinion. I refuse to get tires from Firestone even though they are about $300-$500 cheaper. Warranty is everything and I don't mind paying more for it.mcsteven said:
