It’s also a pretty standard margin for most retail stores as well. 30-40% at that scale isn’t surprising at all.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone was saying bald or sanded down tires would be good.

The tires on my car can only be used in temps above 45° and honestly at 45-50° it’s extremely sketchy until they get warmed up. They’re also terrible in the rain and really only meant for warm weather and dry days.

You also wouldn’t want to run full snow tires in the summer.

You can do the same with AMC. Me and my wife pay like $25/month for 3 movies a week and it works for every AMC in the country. We go twice a month and I’m saving like $40

I mean it’s objectively way better. Before seat reservations that would happen anyway for popular movies. My group had to be split up many times because we’d walk into an almost full theater.
