My brother in law needed new tires for his 2012 Hyundai. He went to a large club store and was told they didn't make 16" tires anymore, he would have to go to 17" tires. Then he went to a big box store and they said they were out of stock. probably wouldn't be getting any in. He finally found a set at a local tire center. They were down for Thanksgiving and he told me his tale. I told him that 16" tires are still being manufactured. Even talked to a friend who works at a large tire plant. He confirmed "they" were still rolling 16" tires out the door. So, was this guy at the "club" store trying to rip my BIL off?
I asked him why he needed tires already. He said the fronts were worn/cupped. I told him he needed to have the alignment and shocks checked. Which he said he did. I asked him how often he checks pressure and he said he has them do it when it's serviced. I told him to go to Wal Mart and get a tire gauge and put it in the car and check the pressure at least once a month. I love my B-I-L but he has very little mechanical knowledge. :banghead: And he hates being wrong.
