Damn inflation has hit everything. Was time for some new tires. I wanted to go with the same set of Bridgestones I currently have. Rears have skyrocketed to $400 each and Fronts are almost the same price. Tax, installation, was looking at almost $1800. Have only had the car for 5 years and this is already my 3rd set (which includes the ones it came with). Don’t drive aggressive at all. Just went with some Toyo’s instead.
considering the cost of gas, tires, parking, insurance, etc.... I'm now seriously considering buying and using e-bikes/scooters. too bad as I was looking forward to getting an electric car but such a convenience and inconvenience that comes with the smaller/portable transport seems a lot more practical.

Goddamn that's a lot for tires! $400 each? :wow:I got my Nitto drag radials on my Challenger for $395 each in the rear sized 315 & fronts for $370 size 275. Where'd you get your tires? Did you look at Discount Tire?
 
Seattle's transit system has no turnstiles and operates on a honor system of payment. Needless to say it's going broke :lol wtf why would you trust people? There's not 1 thing in society that works when it's on the honor system.

Works plenty well in other countries.
 
What’s the basis of this? Nike was Nike before Jordan. In real life
Nike was a relative nobody compared to Adidas and Converse. there was a documentary about this and prior to that, Converse was the chosen brand in the NBA prior to Jordan coming in to the league. every iconic NBA player were all Converse players. Nike didn't have a signature player unlike Converse. they were initially were a runners shoe much more like New Balance is. in fact, their main endorser back in the day was Steve "Pre" Prefontaine.

Everywhere had them for the same price. Tire Rack is where I usually get my tires from. Been searching for the past 2 weeks. I like the Bridgestones I had for the lip/rim protector they have. Sticks a little further out past the rim. Going to have to be careful with these tires.

other brands were more prevalent in the nba bit I don’t think Nike was a nobody. Nike was a known major brand since I was a kid in everyday life.

Yeah, since you were a kid - they only really got big at the end of the 80s - when Magic was first in the league they weren’t a factor at all.
