I'll let you know.<BR/><BR/>Renee: All 4 tires needed replacement and the coupon I think is only good if you get 4. Plus I didnt want to ride on my little dingy spare until Monday. Oh well...<BR/><BR/>Lynne: I definitely agree it's worth the trip.<BR/><BR/>Pea: I do consider myself a very lucky girl.<BR/><BR/>Lynn: Isn't it surprising considering I'm usually a "half empty" person?

Trying to get the money back is always worth a try, but Costco does't usually let you jump ahead on coupons specials. We had our truck tire blow out last year about this time, and they denied us the coupon which went into effect with a few days of buying a full set of replacement. <BR/>Good luck!!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403846791673474817.post-72674562228852620682007-06-03T05:21:00.000-07:002007-06-03T05:21:00.000-07:00Ok, I'm not sure where my comment went that I post...Ok, I'm not sure where my comment went that I posted yesterday but if it reappears well... but I was saying that even if you don't get the money back Joan, you got back home safe and sound, there's no monetary value on that and a $60 refund shouldn't make you lose sleep over that. Things went smooth, according to your story and that's a rare occurence, at least in my neck of the woods. If you decide to go after the cash and you get it, bonus! But either way, glad that you are ok.
