Besides gas going up, so is.... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Last weekend I was shopping for tires and a person I know works at NTB. He told me that because of the gas/oil prices going up, so are tires. Because tires are oil based (made with oil) and the oil prices are going up, prices for tires are going up. Kind of ghetto but owell. Guess I will be buying my tires sooner then I thought...bah.

Could just be cause the people who run NTB are money-gurbing jackasses.

True that NTB is way overpriced, BUT 4 major tire manufacturers HAVE announced price increases,.. I saw this on the cnn ticker the other day but it didnt say which brands.

Furthermore you can expect a lot of other things to be going up in price,.. manufacturers are going to pass their delivery costs onto you. This is how recessions start.

I laugh at all of you 2wd people. No more burnouts. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now, what is so great with 2wd when tires cost $300 each?

SilverTurboRidin · 09-06-2005, 08:39 AM

smoger · 09-06-2005, 08:50 AM
