I just don’t get it…it sounds like some folks around here are offended that Luke was trying to sell tires?? C’mon…grow up! The name of the forum was “the Tire Rack Wheel & Tire forum” (or something along that line), what did you think he was here for? He works for the Tire Rack; it is his job to sell tires n’stuff for his company. It is how he makes a living to support his family.
It’s one thing for him to come to these forums to answer questions and to give his expert, unbiased advice for everyone to benefit from, whether or not you buy tires from him… It’s another thing to call him at work for advice over the phone and either not purchase anything or not follow his advice.
It has been almost two weeks now since the “Discount Tire” people took over the forum; do you even know who the “new” guy is? Has anyone from Discount Tire taken the time to answer any questions yet? Has anyone even taken the courtesy to introduce him/her self to the forum members?
I have never bought anything from Luke but he has still taken the time to answer my questions (could be this or another site) You guys try to go to your local tire store and badger the sales guy with no intent to buy while other paying customers are waiting in line…
I for one am grateful for Luke’s expertise. Thank you Luke, I will continue to read your valuable advice in other MB forums and will be buying tires from you soon.

Sorry BIG fella, but there was no temper involved--just a lot more experience w/ The Tire Rack than you obviously have had! As Ronald Reagan once said "Facts are stupid things."

Finally! Some sanity in this asylum! Astute observations my friend. Luke's only characteristic that a few people did not like was that he did not suffer fools lightly. And you can bet those complaining most loudly here are the fools!

If you really want some laughs ask Jay for some financial advice and if that does not cheer you up ask him what the outlook is for the US economy over the next year...........

I happen to agree with Jayhawk, EVERY time I needed advice from LUKE, I feel that I was given SOUND ADVICE in a TIMELY MANNER!!!!!! And NO!!! I didn't need to have a credit card in hand, { THAT WAS JUST A DUMBASS STATEMENT somebody made} SO, Let me ask you this: Hows the new guy from TIRES DIRECT working for you??? AND,AND!!!! I could pick up the phone and call Luke if I needed to!!! Who do you call at the NEW PLACE???? I for One of MANY will miss LUKE, He did a VERY GOOD JOB!!!!!! Its always surprising to Me that so many so called Intelligent people can be so uninformed. Like I have ALWAYS said, YA can't FIX STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!
