I have learned that when it comes to things like batteries and tires, the best place to buy (if possible) is SAMS CLUB or Wal-Mart. They are very tame in the returns department as long as you have the receipt. For a while SAMS was selling Michelin X-Radial tires with a 6 year, unlimited milage warranty. This is just insane, needless to say I got a free set of tires 2 years later. They lowered this down to an 80,000 mile warranty and you must have your tires rotated every 6000 miles by them for the warranty. My factory Dodge Continental tires lasted less than 30,000 miles before I bought Sams's Goodyear Assurance tires. We are about 8,000 miles in and looking good but I predict the HEMI will be getting some new FREE tires in about a year. I don't know how they do it. But I do know that if you buy a battery, tires or whatever from them they will take it back....hell, I am surprised they don't take your damn oil back after you use it!!!! Wait a sec.... maybe they do? WIll have to try that later.... :> (just kidding) - VB >From: Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [DMCForum] Optima Batteries? >Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2006 09:33:29 -0500 > >Yep!
