[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 315267, member: 3162"] When each of my daughters turned 17, I bought them new trucks. Nothing fancy. They got 1/2 ton short box Silverado trucks. I told them, "After you graduate from college, you can buy whatever you want. If you have a wreck in this, you have a chance of surviving...." It came time to buy tires. Since they were way off at different places to attend college, I bought Wal-Mart tires with road hazard warranties. The thought was that they could get their tires repaired anywhere there was a Wal-Mart. I bought Goodyear Load Range E tires which was overkill but there is a lot of plies in those tires and we are talking about my babies here. The last six attempts to get tires repaired resulted in Wal-Mart saying they could not be repaired and had to be replaced. One of them had a nail 2 3/8 inches into the bead and they said, "That close to the sidewall we deem it to be sidewall". Two weeks ago my baby girl (who still drives her truck) had a tire problem and went to Wal-Mart. She called me and told me they said she had to buy another tire and it would be pro-rated.... It told her to get the tire back on the truck and meet me at Ratliff Tire Company. I bought her a set of new tires. My thoughts on getting Wal-Mart tires so that they could have tires repaired is Oklahoma City or Dallas was a total idiotic thought. The "road hazard warranty" was a total waste of money too. I did keep some of those "old" tires to use on some of my trailers. Guess there was a bright side to buying load range E tires. [/QUOTE]
