Depends on the tire shop. My dealer will come close, but may not match. What he does is give me good service year round no matter what the problem is. If you never ever have a tire problem, price is a big factor but when you cut a sidewall, bend a rim, damage a valve, my local guy will fix you up on the spot and if your tire is not in stock you will still leave with four tires and a spare. Keeps money in the neighborhood too. If I'm spending $600+ on a set of tires, another 20 or 30 bucks is not a deal killer for superior service. |
