It was a PepBoys auto super center, with about 6 maintenance bays and all of
one wall dedicated to tire and wheel sales. I had bought them there before
about 6 months earlier. But since none of the employees present at the time
believe auto tires were ever equipped with inner tubes, they wouldn't even
check their catalogs. I went down the street to a local O'Reilly's.
