I know what you mean about tires, you have nail in the tire and of course Tire Choice will tell you it cannot be fixed. You need a new $180 tire, so you go to Walmart and they fix the tire for $10 while you shop. Typical scenario.

They are good for golf cart tires. I have a Yamaha I bought from TV store and I needed one tire, new and mounted. I called the Brownwood store about this time last year. He said the next appointment is in 3 weeks, or you can come in at 7:00 in the morning and leave your cart and pick it up at the end of the day. We can give you a loaner. I asked about how much for a tire, he said about $80 out the door.

Walmart has the tires and would be the cheapest but I just don't like going that far and dealing with all the traffic and tunnels. I'm not really a cart person, I have it because I play golf and that's all I use it for. I called Tire Choice at Colony which is ten minutes from my house and they said, bring it in, we'll be right on it, no appointment necessary. I took it to Tire Choice at Colony and left the cart, went and ate at Fiesta Grande and when I returned it was ready and $77 out the door. No up-sale or any hassles.
