As a kid, stopping at the bait shop to pick up a box of nightcrawlers or a dozen wax worms on the way to the pond was as much a part of fishing as stringing up your pole and tying on a hook. The smell of minnow tanks, stink bait and soft plastics brings along a boat load of good memories for most fishermen.

Owning a car is expensive. It's not just expensive to purchase a car, it's expensive to maintain the vehicle. From oil changes to tune ups, to brakes and struts, the price tag can shock you. One of the more expensive maintenance purchases for cars are new tires. It doesn't matter if you have a tiny car that looks like it could fit into your pocket or a Ford F-150–tires are going to cost a good portion of your paycheck. For that reason alone, people want to make sure they're getting the best tires that will last them as long as possible. But what if mechanics were keeping a secret about tires that may impact how long your tires last? Secret may be a stretch but not every mechanic is straightforward so some may use this well known trade information to unload stock that might need to be reduced. Like supermarkets put food that expires soon towards the front and the newer food towards the back, some tire shops may be doing the same with tires and one mechanic is spilling all the details.
