Studs help tire sales

Fri., May 9, 2014

OK, stud lovers. You’ve put your studs to bed and have put on your summer tires. Because your studs have created a very rough and sharp roadway, it will wear your summer tires off much more quickly.

Tire dealers are getting double the money selling studded tires, aren’t they? Makes you stud users feel real good.

Buy stock in tire manufacturers, not road repair businesses.
