I know rubber has gone up, but this is crazy!

taken at our hardware store:

boy, I hope that is a typo, and not a sign of things to come.

That is crazy. I can't believe you have a hardware store that stocks bicycle tires.

I think that's a typo, the two on each side are $17.99 which is about right, the center one is $79.99 I think they slipped when typing it up. Might just bring it to the owner's attention. If you really want to crap a brick take a look at these tires!

$225 for one tire?!!!? :shock: For $25 less you can get two of them with tubes, rims, AND THE BIKE!

That's a special tire for ice traction, and has 240 embedded Aluminum Carbide Studs.

Ok here's another example

Studs or not I still can't see spending that much on a tire (I'm way too cheap for that). If the studs are that much I got a box of drywall screws and a grinder. :mrgreen:

Yes, OSH. They swapped out the hanging tire rack about a year ago, and installed the boxed schwinn tires. In the process, they dropped white wall tires altogether. That was my last 'secret stash' of stores that carry affordable white wall tires.
