Now she is correct, I looked it up studded snow tires are banned in Wisconsin and 8 other states (including Hawaii... imagine that?). They are banned for sale, but those passing through the state are exempt.
At any rate, you tell me should I remove my listing because of this?

By the way, it is also illegal in Wisconsin,
1) for a restaurant to serve apple pie without cheese
2) to not have screens on your windows from May 1 to October 1
3) to serve yellow butter substitute
4) to cut a woman's hair
5) to kiss on a train
AND drum roll,please....speaking of trains; when two trains pass at an intersection ( I assume in a train station) neither may pass until the other does.

Although I could not find evidence on the internet, it must also be illegal in Wisconsin to retire at the top of your game. How else can you explain Brett Farve??

Dear srsrace71,

We do not end live auctions, after tires have run through the live auction twice they are moved to the store for 15% higher price (due to fees) after 30 days in the store then we start accepting offers.
Local pick up is however available for $5 each when a sell is finalized, which is waived if we install the tires ($12 each)
Thank you

Dear srsrace71,

Off your meds? Let me get this straight, we politely decline your offer then reply to your silly follow up email. Now YOU call a congressman and get used tires banned from the entire county? This is Great! Look for this conversation on the internet,, you may just be the next star wars dude!

Dear srsrace71,

while you’re at it can you get the IRS abolished and let us go with a flat national sales tax? I send you the tires for free if you get that done ol' great poo-baa
