Funny you should mention Sears . I had a pair of Dunlops put on my wife's
SUV last weekend . I doubt these were 12 years old though , the boy that
mounted them sez they sell a lot of this tire .
BTW , I trust this guy , he's my oldest son ... and even with his discount
, they weren't cheap , nearly four hundred total including the alignment I
had them do . Toe was bad out ... and Momma's happy , sez it drives lots
better .

The video didn't exploit which sears, and city had them. I think the
issue of a old tire setting on the self is one we should know about.
Hell the tires on my trailer I pull behind my bike are going
on 9 I should be more worried about that LOL.
