the tire that blew was a replacement about 6 moths after I got the 4 tires originally on my rims. o it was a little newer than the others. I was just driving down the highway and there was a loud pop and shaking in the steering wheel. nothing major. No bulge that I could see when I put my summer rims on in May

crazy!?!

was it some kind of "made in korea" brand tire or something?! ~ that 's a pretty big deal, and could be a major liability for a big company...
(I'm thinking of the OE-Firestone tires on the Ford Exploders from the 1990's)

hmm, never thought about that... I've generally only driven with 60 or 70 series tires before... so these 45-35 series rubber are a whole new ball game for me...

it was a "Kelly" tire I think. Got it at fountain tire 3 years ago. the N3000 Nexen tires out lasted it and I think I paid 89 bucks a tire for the N3000 when I bought the rims! lol

ya it just felt like the tire was low on air but you can feel the difference between a flat and low air. it's not as dramatic as what people say it will be

I had some Nexens - but that was because the shop actually had recently fired an employee for cheating customers, and they were "overstocked" on them... so my buddy gave me the hook up

Oh the memories

so what you're saying is that you'ld rather sit on your butt and do nothing rather than make $1,080*?

Must be nice.

* = $9 @ 40hrs X 3 weeks

dude... I'm hearing a pessimistic attitude.

money is money.

being more financially independent rather than bumming off the parents (weather or not if they enable it) is a good thing...

with every job, at some level or another there is customer service, you'ld best get a handle on it in jobs that really don't matter)...

so you took things personally?

dude, the kind of moron who vents at someone working fast food is at the absolute bottom of the food chain, and is only worthy of your jeers/laughter...

blow them off - there are more important things in life... like earning gas money!

I just had fun with doing front cash or drive through - which is probably why I worked at Taco Bell on three seperate occasions (in two cities I might add)....

I still deal with people via the phones at my current job - and if anything else being good at it makes a person more valuable to upper management.

EDIT: Also, last time I heard, people these days change their careers an average of four times...

I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up
