My point was maybe OP was acting entitled and demanding so the friend just didn't want to put up with it.

And I still say instead of spending that money on fun, buy tires
I'd hate to live in your life where you have to justify the rudeness of other people just to make an innocent person feel bad.  It wouldn't matter IF that were even true, to cancel the day of a trip just because you don't feel like driving is a shitty-assed thing to do.  From the whole thread I don't get where you have decided to even bring up your opinion that maybe the OP was acting entitled and demanding.  You just decided to throw in the negative.

And she already has the budget for the tires and it was for HER birthday so she could spend the money on whatever she wants. Doesn't sound like she's being careless at all.  All she wanted to do was spend her birthday with her friends...damn her.
