Sears Canada has announced the closing of their tire and service shops and
are converting them to hardware stores. The one in my locality has aready
closed up. Was getting free rotation there on the last tires I bought.
Obviously they are now dishounouring that perk.

Third time's the charm?

How do you explain your assertion that Toyo tires specifically "cup",
a rather specific term, on Hondas; more than on other cars and more
than other brands?

_HOW?_

What is the mechanism, the physical interactions - the physics and
chemistry, underlying your rather specious conclusion?

....You can say "Toyo's cup badly" all you want, but it means nothing
if you won't or can't describe the process that leads to your
assertion.

Mike,
That does not shock me. The bays at the local Sears store are usually
empty or only have one car in the bay that is designed for about 6 cars.
They only have two employees working in the bay and they are NOT
mechanics. They can change tires, balance tires and install batteries.
That's about all they can do.

My local one has changed to another company, but still tires and service.
