For example.... one $55 tire over the phone at Big O Tires ended up being $107 after tax, balance, installation and recycle fee. The "4 for 2" special now being advertised by Big O Tires turned out to be four $55 tires plus extras, totaling over $400: two tires at $70 each plus $40 times 4 for balance, installation, tax and recycle fee, plus the "required" super deluxe lifetime front end alignment for $110.

I had a flat on my Durango while towing a horse trailer. Don't know when
it happened, spotted it when I came out of a restaurant. Drove across the
street to Big-O. They wouldn't even consider looking at it while the horse
trailer was attached.
grumble.
They took it off, said it was unrepairable, a zillion dollars for a
replacement. Fortunately, they were out of stock.

I had them put the full size, but different looking, spare on, and headed
home.

My regular tire guy said nothing major, fixed the flat, and I wore the tire
out.
