We've known for a while that the tires on the family car weren't looking so good. There were long cracks in the tire walls. We have postponed taking it in to get it checked out because we knew they would say that we needed all new tires. From a previous flat tire I new each tire costs $268. Times 4 is just not something we can afford right now. However with leaving tomorrow to drive to visit family for the holiday we decided we needed to find out how bad the tires were and if it would be dangerous to drive that far with them in their current state. My Dear Husband took the car in and called me now to tell me the news. DH said that the previous flat that had been replaced was still good but we need three new ones and it really would be too dangerous to travel with the old ones. Initially it was coming to around $900, but then the costumer service guy started searching through the guarantees, rebates and anything else that could help us. He then showed DH that the new cost was going to be $166 FOR ALL THREE. DH handed him the keys and said do it! I cried when DH told me--happy tears as my kids call them. What a blessing from the Lord. He may wait until the 4th watch of the night to answer our prayers, but he does hear them and at the right time answers them. Now we can drive without worrying about popping a tire. Thank you Heavenly Father and thank you Discount Tire!
