That totals $475.00 bucks!

I can use the old ones either in the garden or to assist in burning the stump piles, but that is outrageous!
Mac, that seems pretty inexpensive for 15" or 16" truck tires. I recently priced a decent set of 16s" for my F150 and they were $800. These weren't even light truck tires.

But I totally agree! Tire prices have gone through the roof in the past several years. I need a rear tire for one of my small tractors but my credit report is not good enough for the loan required to buy it.

This is a 1994 Toyota 'Pick Up' it's hardly a truck, more like a economy car with 4x4 and a v 6.. You can't place a sheet of plywood in it flat... A mini truck to pick up small parts and things.... it's not a real truck

This one is on it's last legs, and I would like one more year. The frame crossovers are getting weak, the ft fenders are rusting thru, the door bottoms had the glue that holds the bottoms together fall off...

I want to get into spring with out salting up something else.

If it were a real truck then I would understand more.... That starts at 3/4 ton and can push snow to me.

There isn't anybody on earth I would trade places with, and assume all their problems and give up all my memories.

Yeah, because people who live in cities all secretly aspire to live 30 minutes from nowhere, among emasculated men, and ****y whales whose identities are defined by their children and the brand of SUV into which they plant their cellulitic asses ten times a day.

See how stupid assumptions go both ways?

Just because people critique something or choose one thing over another (house, city, car, whatever), doesn't mean that they're using others as proxies for their own suppressed issues, or that their choices are born from necessity.

Nah, and neither do I. You just don't know what you're talking about (and you're proud of it)! BTW, if somebody's wife wants to get a flippin' motorcycle, how's that your business anyway?

I started to agree with you. Then I thought about Vietnam.

Put me down for ambivalent...
