You do not always get what you pay for...
Ice Tires was a topic of discussion a while back, and that's what I'm talking about here.
I can't name the source because I don't know where the tires came from, but suffice it to say that you CAN spend $600 on tires that are garbage.
Buy from a reputable builder. Seek out references. Look for support. Ask about what you should look for in a tire (stud patterns, angles, stud heights, etc).
These are built by hand, so it is very easy for them to be built wrong, (likewise, it's pretty difficult to get one built RIGHT).
Just do yourself a favor before dropping your coin, and ask around. If you'd like my personal recommendations, just ask...

Well, we'll see if the analysts are right....
QuoteInvestors got a post-holiday shock on Tuesday when the Treasury yield curve inverted --- a phenomenon that historically has been a precursor of economic weakness and even recession.
But strategists were quick to caution that in today's economy, an inverted yield curve --- when short-term bond rates are higher than long-term --- doesn't necessarily mean a recession is likely in six to 12 months, as the textbook would suggest.
"As a forecasting rule of thumb, the yield curve has been pretty good --- but it may not be a good rule of thumb today," said Atlanta strategist Dorsey Farr, director of asset allocation at Wilmington Trust.
Even Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told a congressional committee last summer that the yield curve at this time is not the same as in the past. He said its "efficacy as a forecasting tool has diminished very dramatically."
That didn't prevent a stock market sell-off that sent prices sharply lower across a broad front as traders and investors responded to suggestions of future economic weakness
;)
Economics! Right up my alley Dawn. 8)
While it's true that every recession has been preceeded by an inverted curve, not every inverted curve has led to a recession. I suppose that's partly what the strategist was saying.
Along with a bit of a self serviing secret message of, "Nothing to see here or be too worried folks. Don't stop investing".
But as they say, 4 of the most dangerous words on Wall Street are "Things are different now." ;)

But didn't it make you at least smile? ;D
This is part of what I don't get about the stock market:
You buy a share of a company which you can do what with? Nothing but hold it or sell it. Not like you have any say unless you hold a large % of shares. Then, the return on your money is in the control of a very finicky mob mentality system. You can lose money on the mere possibility that X or Y coul happen if the stars line up wrong. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I don't know that much either. :-X
If you guys are done jacking the thread I`d be really interested to know where the tires came from? Jeffy?

They came from a shop...
I don't know where they originated, but I can tell you they WEREN'T a set of Stuee's or Fredette's tires...
