Ordered new tires for the truck on the 14th. They billed my visa card. Promised them by friday three days later. 17 days later no friggin tires. I told them to stuff it and called and canceled the visa bill.

Last 3 sets of tires I bought came from tirebuyer.com . delivery to my door was included in the shown price which was about 15% below Wal-Mart and I have a shop up the road that will mount and balance them for me at $12 a pop tax included
Thanks, just seen some Firestone transforce ht's for 167 each with free shipping. Will order some next week. Firestone dealer wanted 875 for 4 balance and mounting included. I can get them mounted and balanced locally for 10 apiece.
Finally, we cancelled the rest of the order, and I'm not too sure if I'll do business with them, again.
It's sad to see Sears go down the drain, but they are going down the drain, and that, I'm sure of.
If you don't have the ability to know what's going on, from one department, to another, you have some serious issues.
I firmly believe that Sears hasn't the money to invest in new computers, nor the software, needed to do business, in today's business environment.
Before my time he and mom were cutting wood to sell with a cross cut saw after cotton picking was done. Got a little money ahead and dad decided to buy a chansaw.
Went to Sears money in hand and they high pressure clerk convinced him to open a charge account for the saw that was ordered. Dad naturally spent the money elswhere. Next week he went to pick up the saw only to find they had turned him down because he had no credit history.
Money spent, he had to continue to use the crosscut till he had the money to buy a saw. Not a Sears, he would not even go in the store.
I'll stick with Michelin.
By name only... they don't wear or act any better than a Firestone. I have 6 of them on now.
When I was a kid dad refused to go in sears, thru a fit if mom went in there.

Trying to figure out how it's Sears fault.
Also Sears Craftsmen socket sets were the gold standard, with a lifetime warranty. Home Depot and Lowes didn't exist.
Sears was the place to go in the early seventies. I was doing carpentry and we bought all our tools there, Skilsaws, extension cords etc. Sears sold the best tools you could buy.

I still use my Dads Craftsmen tools. They will outlive me.

Firestone is THE winner..........in number of tires ever recalled by any tire manufacturer. As Homer would say......"Dooough!"
