|  sticky good deal So i stoped by our local tire shop (les Schuab) and asked to buy some stick on weights. The said they never have people ask for them except for pine wood derby cars once in a while, but they hooked me up with whole box of 30 strips (60oz) for ..... wait for it...... $5.10!!!!  . they also told me they would sell me a case of 4 boxes for 20 bucks!!!!! so before you spend 5 bucks for 4oz or so check your local tire center! |

| Just called one of my boys , who just happens to be the store manager at a Les Schawb tire store in Mt. He is going to text me the price for a box tomorrow. He said they have switched to the steel weights , he thought they were 2oz strips. IDK , we'll see about the price. |

| I bought a box that size from O'Reilly for like $22. Good find. I think that $22 will last me for a while. |

| The time before this when I purchased some they charged me 5 bucks for 8 ounces so i guess its all about who will get them for you and if they feel like figuring out the price. |
