Fleeced After All..

I used to think the samething,till I blew a tire in
No mans land N.M. In the middle of the night.

Limped to a no name tire shop that was closed.
There was a own/op ahead of me.
He blew out a super single.
Cost him 1350 bucks.
I watched him lay the cash on the table.

 

That's way too much for one tire even a super single.

 

Maybe it was a whitewall!

 

Why was you terminated?Why did you pay so much for one tire?Wouldn't it have been cheaper calling road brkdown?Why did you do that in secret?

 

If he limped a super single he also bought a new rim with that. I've seen rims ground down to scrap metal just from the time it blew to getting over to the breakdown lane.

 

That's a good point. I limped in.
He was there when I got there.
I guess he didn't blow it sitting in their parking lot.

 

I sure wish Paul was still around becusa we need

 

$1300 is pretty common price for a Michelin super single on the road. Your looking at another $500 for the wheel.

 

Would you care to share the "petty" reason you think might be why you got canned? This whole story doesn't add up.

 

That must be it then. They changed one tire on his
Truck and he dug 1350 in cash out of his pocket.
He wasn't smiling about it either.
