We use a clamp style spring compressor to fix a spring issue on our 1967 Mustang. Coil Spring Compressors can be dangerous and we were nervous.

![Are Tires Really Cheaper Online? Heres What I Actually Paid
When Jeff went hunting for a fresh set of tires for the 64 Falcon — 225/50-16 Falken ZE950s to replace the 225/45s he cant get anymore — the online price looked like a steal. Then he finished the checkout. What started around $380 for the set crept past $450 by the time it landed on his porch, and thats before finding somebody local to mount, balance, and install four bare rubber rings.
In this one, Jeff walks through the real math of online versus local: the backend handling fees that appear only after youve typed in your address, the extras that quietly arent included (road hazard, lifetime balancing, rotation, flat repair), and the one move that actually saved him money — taking the online quote to a national chain and having them match it, road hazard thrown in. All in, he drove out at $527, less than the online route wouldve cost him fully installed.
He also gets into when buying online genuinely makes sense — like the oddball 16 sizes local shops dont stock for a classic — and the comparison mistake almost everybody makes. Bottom line: caveat emptor, and always weigh four tires out-the-door and ready to drive, not the number in red letters on the landing page.
