Group,

When I took my Corvair to Sam's to get new tires, I didn't even try to explain the front to back pressure differential. I figured I would just fix it when I got home.  Once home and the tire gauge was out, to my surprise I found the pressures correct . . . must have looked on the glovebox door.

So a few months later I went back to have new tires put on the 93 Caprice Classic tow wagon.  There wasn't much selection, so I ended up getting some white letter tires. I thought the white letters wouldn't look very good with the woodie side trim and wire hubcaps so I asked them to mount them white letters in . . . they refused, said they couldn't do it.  Ended up getting tires cheaper at WalMart.

Ying and Yang
