Ben, you just confused everybody in the states. Nobody (well most nobody) knows what boxing day is. I've spent some time overseas, so I have a good idea.

Haha, that's ok, they probably don't know what crappy tire is either.
I don't know of anyone else that sells roughriders though, can you guys get them in the states?

Crappy tires is not a real encouraging name for a tire store......

I checked with Wal Mart today. Apparently China does not make tires yet. They wanted $140 per tire for some Uniroyals and then they wanted to charge me another $100 for life time rotation, balancing and road side hazard.

"Crappy Tire" (in the context that I'm thinking of) is easy enough because they exist in everybody's hometown. Thelt actually mentions one of my local "Crappy Tire", Walmart.

$100 for lifetime servicing, hence the reason that call them crappy tire. I also get sick of their advertising. One day I was just looking and saw tires for like $28 (sign posted on a stack of tires), then I looked at the tires, and the set of 4 they had sitting out didn't even match brands. The size they were advertising that price for was something I have never seen in all my time working in a tire store.

If you didn't buy the tires there, $100 isn't outrageous for installation. Most shops will charge you mount/dismount (to cover labor costs of having to do it), balancing (to cover wear/tear on machines and labor), and if you got new valve stems installed (which I do on every new set of tires, or if I'm switching tires regularly about every 20K to 25K miles). With all of those costs per tire times by four...$100 is pretty close.



The Installation of the tires was cheap for me, i have TPMS so i got new sensors and mounting. I have NOOOO problem with the 100 bucs its the 480 for 5 hours labor that they charged me.

Just for clarification

The real name is Canadian Tire , some may call it Crappy tire , Cacan tire and so forth.

Its really big over here: www.canadiantire.ca , its like a car parts/tools/hardware store , it also has some sports stuff including fishing/camping/hunting stuff.

I bet Canada has a lot of good places to wheel. The western part of the country seems to be sparsely populated from what I have read. I think they filmed the movie "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins vs a grizzly bear in Canada. Maybe I will come up and visit y'all someday.

The running joke on Wal Mart is that you can get everything cheap there because it is all cheap stuff made in China.....
