Last week was our last week of turkey hunting here in VA. My uncle had 1 tag left from the fall and asked if I would go with him since I was tagged out and help him kill a bird. To make a long story short we got into turkeys but didn't get one. As they say A bad day of hunting is better than a good day at work, why? On the way out of the National Forest the sidewall of my rear tire blew out.
I bought the tires in November of 2005. I had 107,464 miles on the truck at that time. I now have 168,794 miles on the truck. I got 61,330 miles on this set of tires. Ok, I'm not a guy to neglect things but I did with this set of tires cause they dry rotted. Those tires in 2005 cost me $541.00 for a set put on my truck. We put the spare tire on the truck and headed to the house. I've been on the phone for 2 days pricing tires and I almost fell in the floor when I found out what it would cost me to put them on now. A set of four all terrian BF Goodrich tires 31x10.5 R15LT installed ranged anywhere from $943.00 to $1,117.00.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in the price of tires lately?
Guess I'll have to take a 2nd mortgage out to pay for them. LOL.
