Excellent post flu. The Yokohamas that I bought were to replace runflats that cost a hell of a lot more and gave a horrible ride. I don’t care really who owns the company but more which plant actually produced them. The Yokohamas were made here in the US, I didn’t realize this until after I bought them so it was not a factor in the decision making process. Now however I have a 4×4 that uses bigger tires and I don’t have to replace them immediately,before winter begins however. I was considering Costco,who gives $70 back on set of 4 Michellin but won’t do it for BFGoodrich which is owned by Michellin. In my reasearch I’m discovering that Costco does not have the best prices.

moneymakerParticipantThanks for the insite on Italian shoes jpinpb, I just spent $20 fixing the soles on a pair of Italian leather dress shoes that somebody gave me 8 years ago (I’m sure they were atleast that many years old @ the time). Brassboot brand not sure how much they were originally but good shoes that I felt were worth keeping.

moneymakerParticipantI think you did the right thing. Now you have a bargaining chip and better knowledge of what you are getting into. We had a friend do our home inspection and he didn’t even crawl under the house. He knew how much my wife wanted the house so I don’t think he really wanted to find any major issues like deteriorating cast iron pipe or recently fixed foundation (I think everyone knows what that means). All in all though I will admit that we would have bought our house anyway because it was not house A versus house B for us @ the time but more of house or no house @ the time. I think all inspectors find lots of issues but it is the big ones that you really want to know about. A personal peeve of mine is that the big ones are probably known to the seller/realtor and I’ve yet to hear them pointed out by them.

moneymakerParticipantI know tell the landlord to charge the new tenant as it is really so that they feel comfortable, or is it so that he’ll feel comfortable? By the way do you know for a fact that he changed the locks before you moved in? We gave out keys to workers when we first bought our house, but after all the work was done I changed to the new style locks and sold the old ones.
