Isn't that precisely what happened in the OPs case?
He was all concerned about the age of the tires... They offered him several solutions, to get better tires, or he could get a few bucks back in his wallet... He chose the money back over better tires.
I think my observation was spot on.
RIF, you oughta try it. Look at the original post. OP stated LT tires are not available in the size he needs.I never told the OP that he should get LT tires. Even though, I would reccommend that as the best option.. It would mean changing sizes. But I did not say anything about that at all. Later, he was given the opportunity to take a chance of ordering the tires again to see if he could get NEWER versions of the SAME tire, not BETTER tires.I think most everyone would agree that a two year old tire is not as "good" as a tire that is a fraction of that age. Therefore a fresher tire agewise is a better tire. You make the arguement that someone went looking for shops to support their arguement for ST tires.It is a fact that Jermey is a ST tire proponent. So it is illogical that he was checking tire shops to see about getting some LTs mounted. IF he was checking shops at all, it was to try to find some that wouldn't do it... I am skeptical to say the least. Yet you make the incredible stretch that because someone didn't want to take the chance to order tires again and hope for newer onesThe OP was offered several options. One option was to return the tires for a FULL refund. That was IMO the best option. then the search could have started anew, with the fresh tire requiement being made upfront to the tire dealers.
He chose the cheapest option. that ALL poeple who buy ST tires care ONLY about price at the cost of all else. Ridiculous.
All, always, only etc. are pretty big words. I try to stay away from them.
But if you do any reading at all here, the trend I spoke of is obvious. And isn't that what happened in the OPs case?
