So this morning on the way to work, my front right tire gave out, leaving me swapping to a donut on the side of the road. I was already having a sh/tty morning, sore from the weekend, and I actually had a lot to do this morning (for once).
I knew the tire would go soon (as my camber was killing the inside of the tire), but I didn't think it would go this soon. So...I'm broke...I need a tire...and I don't have time to go through the internal ordering process at work (I work for a tire company). So...I put on two Douglas tires. WTF!?!?
I know, why the hell would I mount such cheap sh/t on my car? Well, I'm broke, I can't afford the repair required to get my camber fixed, and I don't want to spend much on tires that are inevitably going to get trashed while I'm waiting to get the camber fixed. But....
I feel as if I've dropped all my standards, that my life of marketing quality tires and commitment to performance has become a two-faced lie. I feel worthless and will forever shy away from ever being seen near my two front tires.
I need this camber problem fixed soon, so I can get back to feeling good about myself!! I understand that it is fixed by some plates or something (it's a 95 Honda Accord). Anybody know anything more. I was quoted a price for the repair in the mid 300s.
Till then...I'll roll on sh'tty Douglas rubber. The treadwear rating makes me cringe!
