Sammy, that only worked out because you did not really care if it was done this week, or next. You were not stranded at home with a blown tire or three flats of something weird. Just like shipments from Amazon, if I can't care less if it gets here in a month, it arrives in time warp fast speed. If I am stuck on a project waiting for the shipment, the shipment gets rerouted to several states, and damaged so I have to reorder it, and return the old one. It is just the rules of the Amazon universe.

My first set of tires ever were just under 25 bucks, for a set of 4 mounted and balanced tax and everything. They were 4 recaps for me 1960 VW bug with 36 HP new and likely 25 after 100,000 miles. Top speed was 70 if I had a tail wind. With any headwind, it was hard to go 60. With any incline or hill, it was downshift to third and 35 MPH.
