yea, but spending the extra money will allow you not worry about until they're worn.

Numerous times before? Those tires do suck then. I'm going to assume that you keep using them because you only replace one tire at a time? At a savings of only $7, I'd rather go somewhere else and buy 2 different tires. It's up to you but good luck getting reimbursed.

Um the last time I had the regional manager on the phone and I told them that if this happened again BFG and the Better Business Bureau would hear about it.
