Tire(d)s

   Some time last summer, it was evidently time for new tires on the Subaru, so he took it in to  Tire Warehouse and they installed 2 new tires.  A few months later, the car encountered a major pothole in the construction of the Schaghticoke bridge, and one of the new tires blew out.  Back to Tire Warehouse, where the unfortunate news was that their tires have no warranty, partial or otherwise, unless a warranty was purchased, which was not the case.  So, another new tire.
     A recall had been issued for the undercoating on the Subaru, the second notice since the first attempt was deemed insufficient, so back to the Subaru dealer, where, after the undercoating was applied, gratis of course, because mandated, he was told the car's brakes were low, and should be replaced.   He declined to do so right then, and instead took the car to the local shop on Route 40, for that all -important second opinion.   There he was told that indeed new brakes were needed, but was also advised that a tire had a serious bulge, and should be replaced.  So the brakes were replaced, and a new tire installed. End of story, for a while?  Nay.
    A few days ago, as he was driving to Tech Park for an appointment,  he failed to see a major pothole as he was merging into traffic and another 2 tires bit the dust.  Again, the rubber hits the road.
