shopping

This is a worn out tire on my pickup truck.
When I bought this truck, I remember one of my friends saying,
"Whoa! Eighteen inch tires -
You're going to have real sticker shock when you replace those babies!"
Today, was the day. :-(

Sorry, you had to get new tires but you'll be much safer now.

Sheila18-Oct-2009 05:02
Hope you were saving for the day!

I need to replace all four. Spend a small fortune on it. Thank for reminding me :-)

better get new rubber if you want me to ride with you...good shot for the challenge
Doug Cruden17-Oct-2009 11:13
Wow! Better get your wallet out! Funnily enough, I need to get new tyres this week, but not 18" ones thankfully!
Fred Gary17-Oct-2009 10:41
Good shot, neat way to fit the phrase. I did it last year with snow tires 17" and this coming summer sometime I will need new summer tires. Hefty bill on fixed income with no raise in sight.

It has to been done!

All comes along.....

Oh yeah! I had to buy tires this year, too.

Wow, sticker shock. I agree with Walter, you'll be much safer.
Inga Morozoff17-Oct-2009 00:32
Yikes! No doubt that was a heft bill. We did the same last year.

never fun to shop for ties :-(..

Very clever take on the challenge. On the bright side, you'll be safe this winter.
Barbara Heide16-Oct-2009 21:37
