Your dumbass agreed to put Vermicelli tires on your ride

You deserve the pain of paying the man, you won't learn your lesson unless it hurts a bit

When you called, did you even think to ask what kind of tires he was quoting you?

Training is in order or you're gonna learn some hard lessons.

I've bought several sets from that dude, no issues except his baws tightened the frick out of my lugs once. He tried to sell me on some off brand shite once and I told him frick no, did you not tell him frick no?

They'll have a 1-ton pickup on three got damn Chinese floor jacks. Two on the front axle and one on the rear chunk.

Vercelli tires are made to the highest quality standards by Sentury Tire Co. LTD. They are some of the best tires on the planet. Sounds like you missed out on a great deal.

Vercelli tires are cheap tires made in Thailand

Kelly Springfield doesn't exist anymore. Kelly is now made by Goodyear. It's their low end brand now.
Vercelli is a cheap Asian tire. It's a nice, cheap Asian tire but you get what you pay for.

He told me they were Kelly Tires. They weren't. Kelly is a reputable brand so I didn't question the quality until I saw on the side of the tire it only said Vercelli and nothing related to Kelly. When he told me the name of the tire, he said they were made by Kelly and they were called Vercelli, like brand and model. I Googled them and found nothing about them being made by Kelly. That is when I told him to change back. So if someone told you they were selling you a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt but it was really a Chaps or US Polo, you would be okay with that?

You are too damn picky.
New tires are all the same.

I got my current set from him. The old man is losing it in the head lol, but he does have some of the best prices on tires if you're not worried about high quality.

I was told I was getting Kelly-Springfield tires which was not the case. Once I saw it was an off brand, that is when I told him to change them back.

You watched them put the tires on your car? I do this but I go to a place for poors. Never have I ever physically seen them put my tires on when I went to Goodyear. I would not have paid them a dime. They promised a product which you were not receiving. I would have made a scene and called the police. Tell em to bring the k9 because you thought you smelled weed.

I won't disagree with you. I'm used to going to a Gateway or Moore's where I never had to question that. I thought because of the rec from my wife's friend that it would be similar. I mean she drives a freaking Lexus, I didn't figure her for buying cheap tires. Guess you can't account for that.

The 2 best tire shops in the area are in Shreveport not Bossier.

Jim's South on Bert Kouns if you can handle Cooper Tires made in Texarkana.

For all other brands go to the Gateway Tires over by the auto dealers at 3130 and Bert Kouns.

Jim's is toward Mansfield Road and Gateway is nearer Christus Hospital. Neither one of those locations will give you any grief, will tell you exactly what's what, and will NOT BS you.

Jim's relies on repeat customer business mainly so they will really talk with you about your needs.

Gateway has all the car dealers down there so they simply don't have the time nor energy to mess anyone around. They want repeat customers too.

Yeah I have a sports car that takes a 17", wide, low profile, tire. Gateway is the only place that stocks it regularly so for a blowout/puncture/etc. where I need a tire NOW, they're the one to see.

If I'm looking at routine maintenance, mileage replacement, Jim's is my go to for the outstanding service and just Good ol' boy, make the customer situation right, attitude of the place.
