"Those tires are way too expensive!"
"I can get those tires much cheaper!"
Classic lovers are just people.
So sometimes there is a cloud runner or a support sole in between that before he goes somewhere he first looks on the Internet for the lowest price in the known universe for the things he is looking for.
The man of the cry "Those tires are way too expensive!" Came back proudly. He had found much cheaper tires and wanted the man he thought was so expensive to put those rubber bands on.
The defective tire supplier did not want that.
First, he thought the selling party should just do that in cases like this. But he had an even stronger point: The tires were labeled 'engineered in Korea' and 'for the Turkish market only'.
And in such cases, something like chain liability or something like that plays a role. If the cheap tire buyer were killed by tire trouble, our friendly tire farmer would have been given the black Piet. He should not have mounted those tires.
"Then I will go to someone who wants to earn something!"
was the farewell cry. The man took his straps outside again.
Minus the sticker that was on 1 of those bands.
We were allowed to photograph that sticker for this story.
And Marshal is not a bad brand by the way ...
The lesson of this story
The lesson of this story is of course that smart guys who always go for the lowest price are at the end of the ride full of stuff or go out expensive. Out of all kinds of considerations, we prefer to buy 'from the man who can make it'. In the neighborhood, in the region or at a specialist.
With people where you can also go if you have questions or if there are problems.
And later we remain realistic. An advertiser was once angry called. "How he dared! Ask 12.000 euros for the same car that the Angry Man had found on the Internet for only $ 3.000! In America! In Louisiana.
Our advertiser quietly replied: "Then you buy it anyway". But even that was not the case. The caller only wanted to address the advertiser for his reprehensible behavior ... "Because in Louisiana ..."
