The excuse has been the increased cost of energy... fuel, transportation, manufacturing, etc. Funny how gas has decreased by over a third in the last several months, but I haven't seen a single price decrease in anything else...
I'm sure it's just a mistake and everything will soon decrease in price to keep up with the lower cost of energy now.

(Gas station near me is now selling reg grade gas, cash price of $2.49 a gal., down from $3.45 about 4 months ago).

Don't get me started.... 7 bfg 255/86r16 load range E MT's on my truck ain't cheap!

My buddy put these tires on for me. It was basically the same crappy Mich's for right at 1k or I could get these for $200 more OTD. It was a no-brainer for me once we passed the 1k mark....lotta cash to shell out, I hate it but needed it.....
