    Price of oil is about to hit tires in a big way. :cry:

    I was in my favorite parts house today to pick up a few odds and ends. I'm on a first name basis with the guy that runs the place and he told me if I needed tires to buy them now. He was talking about huge jumps within the week, even doubling some of the discounted tire prices. So anybody holding off on getting a new set of tires for their Maverick and Comet better look at buying now. I've been holding off on the new rubber for my Maverick, but I'm ordering them tonight.
