Or Critter's hedge against the depression... 1st full week in business, no advertising, no grand opening, no nothing, cept 52 tires sold, average sale $40 a tire, average cost per tire, $8. Yes sir, I picked the right place at the right time. There is gold in that there used rubber. :) I expect that this shop will do 150 tires a week by summer. If you're looking for a good biz for the coming depression, this is it. It's hard, dirty work, but it pays good.

Good idea critter. I respect a man who works with his hands. Good luck
Thanks, even though I don't like you. :p Actually, new tires are a big hassle and you make quite a bit less on them, if you want to be competitive with the big discount chains. For what it would cost to inventory 100 new tires, I can inventory 5 or 600 used, in great shape, with no real competition within 50 miles. We will have a few though, to fill in sizes that are hard to come by used, like 215 and 235 85 16 light truck and some of the 13 inch passenger sizes.

Lot of Ford Rangers up there ? How much for a patch up ?
That's ok. I don't have many friends. Just trying to encourage a fellow working man.

Good luck
They have expanded into new tires. Maybe you can do that too and increase business even more.
