Priceless Pop-Tarts or toaster pastries?
The morning news told me that Kroger, the nation's largest grocery store chain, says consumers are “moving aggressively” away from big brand names and dropping down to buy more economical store brands. Will they do the same with tires? Will they drop down 1 or 2 tiers or, all the way to the bottom? Only time will tell. In the meantime... BLATANT SALES PITCH ALERT! We are lucky enough to have boosted our inventory of Westlake Tires just in time. We think they’re the best value in tier 3 import tires. Westlakes are imported by a company called Tireco. They’re based in California and have 1.5 million square feet of warehousing there so the tires arrive at K&W in only a week to 10 days after we order. Westlake has the broadest array of sizes in the tier 3 arena. 90 plus passenger sizes and 130 plus light truck and SUV sizes and that equals 95% market coverage. We’ve experienced a near zero adjustment rate over the last 6 years. Tireco is a proven, consistent partner. The opposite of the “container of the month” type supplier. No more struggling to match up a tire down the road.
Oh yes, of course, thanks for asking - Tireco is a family owned business successfully doing their thing for just over 50 years.
