Used to work with a guy who bought mail order tires. Bought very high end
designer tires I guess you would call them. After 15 to 20 thousand miles he
would sell them used and buy new again. Seem to him he was way ahead of the
game can't say that I ever checked his numbers but over coffee it sounded
like a pretty good strategy.
