So my wife's car passed 50K and need's a set of tires. Were driving through town an decide to stop into Town Fair Tire. The car is a Mini Cooper with run flat tires and I was well aware they were going to be expensive. I tell the sales guy I would like a price for 4 tire's, the same that's on the car, Goodyear's. He gives me a price of $405 each. So I say thanks and am going to shop around, he than starts to give me some alternatives. He says he can do this other brand of tire for $279 each. We expressed a bit of interest but I still want to shop around because this is the first place we looked. So than he says if we make an appointment right now he can do them for $211 each. WTF So if we just bought them without leaving you were going to screw me for close to 300 bucks. I took about 5 minutes on the phone to find them cheaper at a locally owned tire shop so their getting my business. Town Fair's all about there 150% price match guarantee, but I say screw them. Let them price there own damn tires instead of making the customer do it themselves and overpricing the people who don't.
