Saw this in-store yesterday and confirmed just now that it is the actual regular prices. They are charging $10 more to get 6 fewer cans. How is this not predatory on busy or less intelligent people? What legitimate benefit would the smaller pack have for anyone?
I’m hoping someone has a suggestion. On my way home from work at 8pm on Saturday I hit a pothole and immediately blew out my rear passenger side tyre. Fortunately I was only 8km from home so my wife came and got me. I finally found the tyre repair kit while I was waiting for her but chose not to use it as the tyre deflated instantly so I assume it’s damage it won’t be able to fix. I went back the next day with my own pump and it couldn’t get the pressure past 6 psi.
The thing is that I had already ordered and paid for a set of 4 Michelin Primacy 5 from Costco, but the initial 4 week lead time has blown out to 6 weeks. I called Costco and asked if it would be ok if I had RACQ tow my car to them ready for when the tyres arrive. Despite going through several layers of management they insisted that due to liability issues they would tow my car if it was left in their carpark. So my only option would be to get RACQ to tow the car to my house and then have to pay for someone to tow it to Costco when the tyres finally arrive (they are now saying it will be a further 4 weeks).
My remaining idea is to get a cheap/used rim and tyre of a similar size (probably not identical because they are hard to come by) just to allow me to move the car home and then to Costco and then potentially keep this one for any future events. Will this work?
