Tire quality is there and the prices are OK but they have now forced you to take the valve stems, the road hazard, and free rotation. In the past this was an option. Who in the heck needs to spend $20 on valve stems and the taxes on disposal of the tires seems awful high - though I suppose we have Al Gore to thank for that just like the internet tax he put on our phone bills. But where would we be without Al Gores Internet and his limo and mansion that leaves a carbon footprint the size of King Kong!
