1. I can list the sizes we use a lot of.
2. We use America’s Tires for the smaller trucks. Other companies for the big trucks. Sizes vary LT235/85R16. Only size I have right now.
3. Send a list in later.
Additional survey comments:
1. I would like a survey regarding multiple locations and details regarding opening them. Like how far between stores, how they decided on a location, How they staff it, etc.
2. Since we deal in the LA basin, we use several tire services depending on the location of need. The majority of replacements are at our store and maybe a group buy would help if our servicing tire service would cooperate.
