Please take the time to watch. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897 Shortly after viewing this vid, T decided to take a turn too close to the curb and blew out both left tires. Went to Discount Tires and requested "new" tires...as in "not old". Was informed that Discount Tires does not keep their tires on the shelf for long since their business was based on this product. Got tires only five months old. Check it out. thanx, janie!
