Mom stopped at one of the tire centers the other day when she was out and noticed her right rear tire was low to see if they'd pump it up for her. She didn't have time to wait for them right then to find and repair the leak, which was really slow, so she had to stick with simply airing it up, otherwise she may have gotten suckered. After they aired the low tire up they made a point to tell her that "the inside of the tires were down to the layer that covers the belts" and were unsafe to be driving on. I think telling a woman that's out driving alone that something is UNSAFE is the one thing they can use to make a woman feel like she has no choice but to have the repair done right then. Anyway mom asked me the next morning to look at the tires for her and guess what, they are fine and still have nearly 3/8 inch of tread left, plenty for mom to drive along time no more than she goes out. I don't want to stir up anything with the shop because they did help her by pumping up the low tire for free and she may need them again some day but at the same time it really pi$$es me off that they'd even try to take advantage of a woman alone.
