Got a new set of tires for the Volvo today.
Way overdue as the date code on them were 2011! They were on the car when I bought it 3 years ago. Had a slow leak on the right front but since this wasn't my DD, I didn't prioritize the replacement process. Until it finally blew out on Monday. No biggie - very easy to change but now I was using the space saver spare with no spare so today was the day for new shoes.
These are P195 60 R15 tires so not a big expense item. I ended up getting a whole set out the door for only $313.
I used Discount Tire in Daytona Beach and they were as always excellent with service and sales. The new tires are great too - was fun driving home on the new rubber!
I like the setup where you can watch the tire installers go about their work. I was surprised how they were all so young - and said as much out loud. One of the front desk guys overheard me and replied back "It's a young man's game!" I thought that was cool. The fella who brought my car out was only 21. Very polite and very good at what they do. Stuff like this is endearing to me.
