He quoted me $450 each which was over double the typical price. When I asked why so much he said "supply and demand if you don't like it find them elsewhere".


I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire and will certainly never purchase anything from him. Nothing against the cars but he's an ass.
First, why wouldn't you go somewhere like Roger Krause for tyres rather than walk into a place that isn't in the biz of selling tyres? You don't think you will pay retail (or more)? To me, that's like walking into a Ford dealer asking for new tyres...

Second, why the Billboards? You are going to buy some tyres that will last you not so long. This I know. Call Krause and order the Avons and be done with it. They will be at your house in a day or so.

OK, I'm done.
