Fast, Friendly, and HONEST!
Returned to Discount this past Friday to have my tires on "The Beast" checked and possibly rotated. I called ahead to see if I needed to get an appointment, but the guy said i could just come on in and they'd have me in and out in about 30 minutes. I dropped off Baby C at daycare and headed across the way.
The guy at the counter checked my tires and said that they were wearing pretty evenly - when the tread gets to a "5", the tire should be replaced..and I guess my tires are at an "8". But he did inform me that I should come back in about 1000 miles for a rotation. He said to pull around to the side so they could check the tire pressure.
The guy (a different guy) that was checking the tire pressure was fast and friendly. He even checked my spare (I had to ask though...we're heading out of town and i wanted to make sure the spare was not flat). He told me that the spare was 11 years old, but it still had decent pressure in it. I guess that is something i missed when I bought "The Beast" used a year ago from the dealership. I checked all the tires, but didn't think about the spare. FAIL on my part.
Due to the fact that the spare was as old as it was, they are not able to air it up...which was fine. I was just glad that he informed me that I had a decades old spare.
I'll be going back here in a few weeks to get a new spare tire. Its too bad I don't need a new set, or else I could just swap out the best old tire for the spare. Oh well. :)
