But for once, I decided to no more rationalize and act as an ostrich. I decided to take my concern heads-on. I changed my complete life-pattern.

Fortunately for everyone, I do know a little bit about how to save money on a set of tires. It just may not be at the time of purchase.

Profile - The sidewall height is represented as a percentage of the width so a 195/70 R14 means that the sidewall or profile height of the tire is 70 percent of the width. Often the profile is not mentioned and that normally means that the tire is a standard 82 or so percent. Never assume though as this is a common misunderstanding that can occur when buying used tires.

The cost of these tires is very reasonable and will vary according to the features it has.

I had no trouble finding a rock pile. Hitting the snake with a rock, in the head, was another matter. The first rock hit the snake on the back, behind the stick. The next rock hit the stick.
