well, i tell you boys... (although i change my own oil)

i have only learned this lesson recently... i have always had to buy
a set of tires ever other year... but i was sitting in sams club watching all
the old people walk in and all they wanted were michelins... and finally i ask a
old fellow and he told me that if you buy a set and rotate them the would last 100k miles... so now days these places spin balance and rotate and take out any nails every 5k miles... so if you have a place like big O.... then
you can just pull in and have the oil changed too... bring your own filter and
mobil 1 or rotella and let me tell you there is no joy like getting a free tire when they pull out a nail.....
