Is it just me or is it true, that when women reach forty, they begin to think they know everything. Kind of like a teenager does.

The lesson learned is, YOU get and have the tires put on the cars from now on.
She can pay you back, somehow....
You can edit or delete the post if you wish.
Two things:
I have an incredibly supportive wife. She will always take my advise IF SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. She has a tendency of saying yes yes yes when she has no idea what I am talking about. Hahahahah. I love that woman.
The other thing is...what took so long to have someone do this? All my life, including until today people ignore my advise. it would seem that I look like an idiot and people just have a hard time taking me seriously. It p o's me a lot. Especially with computers. I am a dang certified computer technician and people will take their neighbors developmentally disabled kids advise before taking mine....don't get me going here.
Some women have a need to make decisions on what would normally and traditionally have been the items the man of the house would do. It makes them feel superior.
In your case, it is apparent she has an extreme case. You did all the leg work to find a good solution at half the cost and she ignored it. She is extremely insecure or nuts or, and it is not uncommon,....both.
Stuff like this may not bother you in the infatuation stage of a relationship but if it is a trend, you will be in trouble down the road.

This is common in all professions.
Take your car to a garage and tell the mechanic what YOU think is wrong with it or question the advise of your physician and see what reaction you get.
I drive the car 7 days a week. You test drove it for 10 minutes.
I live in this body 24/7/365. You examine it for 15 minutes every 6 months.
I just *MIGHT* have a bit of relavent information.
To me it seems:
She was being independent even if financially expensive.
Valued your opinion enough at the end of the day to have them order the tires you suggested.
Arguing over this will ensure a short relationship.

I avoid giving my wife or any woman advice about any subject. I don't want to be in the line of fire when things don't go their way.

People never lie so much as after a hunt,during a war,or before an election.

About 3 decades ago, I gave a girlfriend some automotive tire advice...As in, 'you need tires, your tires are shot'
She then proceeded to borrow $800 from me to buy the tires. Six months later we broke up, I haven't heard from her since. I never received any of that $800 back.
What did I learn?
Always leave a sleeping dog lie.
