Stolen Cobra

I am always baffled why people have an expensive car, yet put the cheapest possible tyres on them.

Dave I always wonder that too !
It used to amaze me when I worked retail tyres that a bloke would come in with a Beemer X5 or a Benz 4x4 or a Hummer and have a hissy fit when you tell them that their tyres are going to cost $450-550 ea. The most common response was I've never paid that much for a tyre EVER and I'm not going to pay that now !
I'd pretty much come back at them with something like " well didn't you think to check on the cost of running the car BEFORE you bought it ?" I'd then get the F@#? Oorrff look if not the words !
You could just about guarantee that you see again in 6 months or after heavy rain with a cheap unknown brand of tyre and complain about how its ****e in the wet and nearly killed me !!
