Tire experts - need help

[Tre]

Getting new tires for my truck, I think they are pulling a fast one.

After several hours, it was determined I needed all 4 replaced. Ok.

Well, the dealer ordered up Yokahamas and said they're the same as I have on now. But my tires say 'General'.  How can these be the same?  Are Yokohamas made in America?

Thanks.

[The RedMeatKid]

Sounds like it's time for a new truck.

2007 F-150 with 60K miles.

When it comes to certain products, I prefer to buy American.

I had to pre-pay the whole order and don't even get them until tomorrow.

Good time to trade it in.  Dealer's need the used inventory and there are blow out deals and rates on new vehicles.  I could see you in a Lariat Crew Cab...

Dude, cancel the order and trade in the F150...you can probable keep your payments the same on a Lariat...trust me.

LOL!  I do like the Lariat, but I'm too blue-collar for that. Well, admittedly, I do fly business class and stay in 4-star hotels, but other than that, I'm the consummate common man.

I drove my last car until it was 11 years old. I plan to keep this one until the kid graduates. She's 7 now.

He'll be smarter when he learns to avoid taking any of his vehicles to the dealer - unless absolutely necessary.

x2   but for tires always order from tire rack and pay a local shop to mount and balance.

[bigdumbbell]

as i recall the tires were cheap compared to others...they were described to me as a good generic performance tire

My bad - I was referring to the tire dealer, Big O.

Should've bought 'em online, but was in a hurry, cuz I wanted to ski this weekend. Fail.
