I know what you mean Glenn. My granddad has a tire shop in Conway. It has been in the family since like 1950's. He makes 0 money running it now. It is now strictly a place for him to go to everyday so he doesn't sit around at home and slowly die. All of his stuff has been paid for years ago, and he used to be into big industrial tires. The only profit he makes now is renting out his second shop to the big Michelin industrial tire guys. He had one of the only big rig alignment machines around so he got a good deal. He charges $25 a tire to mount/dismount/balance because he says it's not worth his time for less. He figures if he can't make a $100 on a set of tires, he'll just sit in the shop and watch the folks drive by. So your price is very reasonable, and I hope everyone in the club realizes what you are doing for us. Thanks.

As to you Brock.

I am going outside now to work on it. Have fun at Sparks. Come by if you got the time. 843-855-0189
