A tire on my little trailer went south rather suddenly and rather loudly this afternoon. I was fuming that the mulch that I was hauling cost 30% more than it did last year - then the tire let go. I had no idea how bad I was about to be screwed.
I pulled into a parking lot - a guy there said it was OK to leave it until 4:00, then he'd have it towed. So I had 1 1/2 hours to get a tire and get the trailer out of there. Tractor Supply was the only local place that had a tire & wheel combo in 205/7.5 D14 size - and apparently they knew it. They charged me $193 plus tax - for a frikkin' trailer tire!
I got the trailer out of there with a few minutes to spare, but I sure paid for it. Checking prices, that's about double what I would have had to pay if I'd had time to shop around.
