Since I pretty much know where the items I want are located in the store, I just walk in and go right to them, pick it out, and either pay right there, or carry it up front.<br /><br />With Will Call, I'd order an item in the morning, and they <i>still</i> hadn't pulled it from stock by the time I got there at 1700!<br /><br />Do they still make "rain tires" for use in your area?drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-11478731133887696412018-11-24T12:04:20.203-08:002018-11-24T12:04:20.203-08:00Depends on what you want to spend.

I'd called all the other stores in town and couldn't find one. Called Best Buy and they were well-stocked. In and out in half an hour. <br /><br />But what are these "snow tires" of which you speak? <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-55141791938978960882018-11-24T10:14:58.379-08:002018-11-24T10:14:58.379-08:00I've been shopping for the new Generation Eigh...I've been shopping for the new Generation Eight televisions to replace the older models.

Not as fast as electronics but I remember my second car getting winter tires with walnut shells embedded in the rubber. Worked great but wore out quickly.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.com
