Tire cost on the rise!

Yep, each tire has roughly 7 quarts of oil in it so as the price of oil/gas goes up, so do tires.

This ^^^^ you beat me to it! Lots of products with rubber in them have gone up.

Be lucky you aren't driving a pick-up. Ours are $135 a piece. I have already been saving for weeks and still don't have the money. Still hoping to save up before I have a blowout. :grumble:

Be glad you don't have a sports car. Check out 315/40/17's. eeek

The worst thing about those rebates is you don't get cash, you get a Visa or a MasterCard.

Which are just as easy, if not easier, to spend than cash. Unless you are wanting to buy drugs with yours or something.

Or don't feel the need to use the card all at once which cause it's value to decrease over time, unlike cash.

Or travel a lot and don't feel like losing extra dollars in bank favoring currency exchange rates.

Or buying something of craigslist.

I could list a bunch of other reasons but you get the picture. The idea that you give someone a interest free loan and they return it to you in a forum beside the one you loaned them should always favor the loaner not the borrower.

I'll make it easier for you, just mail them to me and you won't have to deal with the huge hassle of using a credit/debit card in the year 2013. I spend over 1000 per month on credit cards so I don't think it would be an issue at all for me to use them before their value decreases or having to use them for currency exchange. LOL. Do you not buy gas? Fill your car up and the rebate will be gone anyway and you don't even have to go in the station. See, easier than cash.

MY boyfriend spent $330 for all 4 brand new tires, i bought a used 1 for $35, this is out in CT though

he has a 99 subaru though,

Ours can go from $75 to $120 a tire out here

I get my tires from a "mom and pop" tire shop. The owner went and looked for the specific size and style for my van, then proceeded to find discontinued models. He got them cheap and so did I. Mounted and balance for $ 415 BF Goodrich.

Not to mention that sometimes the value on those cards expire and if you don't use up the value within a given time you lose it. Which means the company that gave you the card really makes out.

yep, especially if you want the best.

I like the way that a lot of companies, instead of raising the prices have chosen to make their products smaller and they think we're too stupid to notice. But more often than not, and even worse, the products are smaller and the prices have still gone up. I know this is a dieting website and therefore we're not supposed to be eating it, , but have you noticed the size of ice cream cartons lately? They used to be half a gallon, then they went down to a quart and three-quarters. Now they're down to a quart and a half and the cost has sky rocketed to $6 for a quart and a half of ice cream. And I'm not even talking about Ben & Jerry's.Their prices are so outrageous that I don't even bother with them. And I know this may sound petty and stupid to some, but I've been using Dial bath soap for literally more than 40 years. Has anybody besides me noticed lately that the bar of soap looks like it's the same size, but they've actually hollowed the back out? I don't consider myself cheap, but I've taken to taking the remaining part of a bar soap, when it becomes too small to use, (the part that I used to just throw out) and pressing it into the hollowed part of a new bar.

How long does it take you people to spend 50-100 bucks? Do you all not drive?

Small town living, bike/walk everywhere. Use a lot of mom's and pop's store, like to pay cash so they get the full amount for their product. Also, gas is cheaper paying cash.

I know it is easier to use plastic for most but I like to help the little guys as much as I can even though it's not the popular thing to do.

Debt cards are almost the same as cash. Credit cards are not cause that is someone's else's money. I know some of us in the year 2013 still don't like to be hustled out of our hard earned money.

Cash fills up the car cheaper than plastic. :happy:

So you are paying less for gas than me by using cash? How is that when we pay the same price for credit as cash (the only place I can think of that gives a cash discount is Swifty) and I get 5% cash back (which at 3.50/gallon is 17.5 cents/gallon) by using my credit card? Also, how are credit cards hustling you? I have never paid a penny in interest and don't have any cards that cost me money to have, but I get 100's of dollars per year in rewards as well as long term interest free financing at several places. Credit cards are only bad for people that don't know how to use them.
