    I checked all around. My tire size is uncommon so I’d have to order it.

    you need a 265/75R16? I have 4 old KO2s in that size and a practically new one ...I can bring you one this weekend.

    The old ones are still good, only had maybe 22k miles on them...kind of chunked up from abuse but I'd be willing to give you one of those (or more if you wanted). Wife wants them out of the backyard lol. They would make for a good spare

    The newer one that I ran as a spare I'd like to sell since it's practically new still

    Going to Big O Tires means you hate your car. I took my mom's 280ZX Turbo there and they didn't tighten the lug nuts after installing four new tires

    God no. I’m looking for someone to mount my spare. I had a good independent tire shop near my old high school mount my KO2’s for me.

    After seeing what Firestone did to @Jamesboy2233 ’s truck I’m never having work done by a franchise.

    I will never take a vehicle to Midas, Jiffy Lube, Firestone, Les Scwab or Big O. The people that graduated at the bottom of the class in tech school that's where they end up.

    It’s a free check, if I was getting new tires I’d use it, rather not prematurely destroy new tires due to a bad alignment.

    Never hurts

    The trades are dying hard these days. We got young adults going to these tech schools that require a TV commercial that are coming out with a ton of student loan debt, debt on tools working for $12-15 hour on flat rate. We wonder why a lot of them don't give a fuck about getting a steering wheel straight.

    The automotive trades are like trucking don't do it.

    When I took an auto tech class, we were being offered jobs left and right. First thing my professor did was pull up his folder of hundreds of emails for dealerships and mechanics asking for recent graduates.
