'Scuse me, handsome stranger. I need to buy tires, but I'm absolutely clueless about them. Help a gal in need? *flutters lashes* -- nm - loosilu SI Jul 24, 11:06
I can tell you how I do it. I find a locally owned shop that looks like it may have been featured in a horror film. -- nm - Qale Jul 24, 09:33
Have you forgotten your last winter? Buy summer tires and plan to get winter ones when it snows. - Subversive Jul 24, 08:11 2
- I have literally no where to store another set of tires. all weathers are fine. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 08:29 1
  - tire diealers store tires also but for a price (and thats not making them cheaper) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 24, 09:24
Sears automotive, Goodyear store, Firestone store. I shun the idea, but even Walmarts have auto centers -- nm - CQ Jul 24, 07:37
also: this is something I would not do online. -- nm - miss amanda jones Jul 24, 07:33 3
- oh, we're going to start calling around when he gets back. I'm supposed to figure out what "type" of tire I need, which is surprisingly difficult. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 07:34 2
  - okey doke, looks like I want high performance all season. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 07:41
  - disregard the square ones from start :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 24, 07:36
google? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 24, 07:30
Do what we do in Oregon: just go to Les Schwab. - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 07:27
if you're home, make your dad do it. -- nm - miss amanda jones Jul 24, 07:27 7
- Dad is making me do the shopping. he'll pay. - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 07:28 6
  - he'll pay? get the all season radial sweetness and be done with it. -- nm - CQ Jul 24, 07:43 1
    - ayup. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 08:02
  - obvs. no tax.just call around. I would actually say that you want to come up into NH more than ten miles (maybe shop in nashua?) so that prices aren't - miss amanda jones Jul 24, 07:32 2
    - he has a place. Sullivan in Nashua. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 07:33 1
      - ...which is where I'm guessing we'll end up, but I have to do some nominal comparison shopping. -- nm - loosilu in MA Jul 24, 07:37
  - Once you have the right size, you can compare... - OAE Jul 24, 07:31
