Affinia bought out.

In October of last year, I sold my shop and went to work for the nations largest tire distributor as an outside account manager. I drive. A lot. I get one free set a year, and my next set is due in January. I previously had a 2011 Ford Escape AWD and had Michelin LTX M/S2's on it. I found it...

When we moved up to Wyoming from AZ, we brought up a 2wd Suburban. It now has 200k on it, and I need two more years out of it. This spring, I threw on Capitol All Terrains, Chinese made tires in an LT245/75R16 LRE. For winter however, I am now putting on my 2nd set of General Altimax Arctics in...

I recently installed 4 new GY Wrangler Adventure A/Ts on my 02 Ford F150 King Ranch, 265/70R17 non LT. So far I have about 200 miles on them. Very quiet, comfortable ride. We will see how they do with Wyoming snow tomorrow morning.

Put a set of these on a 2002 Ford F-150 King Ranch, my personal vehicle, 8000 miles ago. Got them in a P265/70R17, max inflation 44 psi, vehicle recommends 35 psi, I have them set at 40. Balanced them out on my Hunter GSP9700, road forced 'em. All took no more than 3 ounces dynamically...

Um, yeah. That's right. Mine. Going up to get it today. Another shop about an hour from me is going out of business due to a divorce. So he is selling stuff off. Cheap. Grabbing it for $2500, approximately 14.7% of what he bought it new for 2 yrs ago. Pictures later tonight!! Nothing like...

I just sold the Dodge Dynasty recently, and bought a 1981 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 1500 pickup as my new beater. As I was checking it out, I took a look at the spare. It looked great!! Still had the yellow print from the factory on the face of the tread, all the little nubby hairs. Never been put...

Summer Tires. Yes, yes, I know. There are topics here right now regarding snow tires. And yes, the PaceMarks will remain on the 91 Dynasty until late April, early May. But there is a real lack of options in this size. The options I am considering are... Uniroyal TigerPaw AWPII WW Mastercraft...

I'm looking for opinions on winter tires. As many of you know, I own an oil/lube/tire shop in Eastern Wyoming that I have recently opened. However, I am originally from Southern Arizona, thus I am not all that familiar with winter, snow, whatever they call them, tires. Most all customers coming...

Roxi is my "new" 1991 Dodge Dynasty. Every option works but the a/c, which I don't need in Wyoming. All I gotta do to her is a new wiper motor and new blades. They work, but the motion is choppy at best at low speeds. Roxi has 126k original miles, the 3.3L engine, and the A604 4 speed auto...

New 17" Ultra Thunders. Took some old MT Baja MTZ's I had laying in the shop and mounted them for the time being.

Done did it on Saturday, keep meaning to post on the "Oil Change Thread", but can't remember the mileage and I'm too lazy on my only day off to walk out to the truck in the 30mph wind gusts to go look. But anyways, I dropped 7 qts of Formula Shell Full Synthetic 5W/20 in the 99 F-150 and put on...

Had a guy come in my shop the other day asking for 265/75/16's, used. I didn't have any, except for the ones on my truck. But, as my uncle in Arizona would say at his shop, everything is for sale, and I told him that. So now not only does he want to buy the tires off of it, he wants the rims...

Goodyear increasing tires by 7% in May, Cooper going up in June by 7% also.

Had a guy come in with a 95 E-150 conversion van today. He has ran nothing but 15W-40 HDEO in it since new and has 265K on the original engine. The first one was an 83 Ford F-150 with a 302 with over 200K miles on it. Unreal.

And brought me these for my shop!! Two Shell Rotella desk mats, 3 boxes of Formula Shell Pennants that have 5 to a box, and a Formula Shell Menu board for my pricing. Starting to put the board together between customers. Once I get my tire and oil banners put up, probably this weekend...
