I just bought 4 oem 18x8 mopar rims for my parts runner, ordered 4 low end tires, 2 needed nothing and 2 needed less the 1 oz.

The sky is not falling. Complain all we like but it it what it is. Dont seem to stop people from buying that new intake that always needs work or the overseas rods that most need a lil work from the box...heads...ect.... so why are we shocked?

Some just need to retire and move on as they have put there time in but things always change. If this were 1922 vs 2022 what would old men be talking about in there rocking chairs?

Things are not designed for longevity these days by design, why keep a car on the road for 20 years when you can make them buy new every 10? Why do things with a 2 year warranty designed to last 3 years?

Most is a business model, people are still going to need to drive no matter how short the service life of parts.

Get up happy every day and let the little bumps in the road stay little.
