Do you want our advice or not? It seems as if you ask questions as to what to do and you don't listen. Then something happens and you wonder why things happened the way they did.
IGNORE HIM.
Who cares if he was pleased with your tire selection. They are YOUR tires and he was a jerk when you asked for his opinion. He could easily gave you another snarky comment if he wasn't pleased with the tires.
It's all about control with him. You are the faithful dog that is wagging her tail when he gives you praise, and then fearful when he dangles the bone in front of your nose and pulls it away for fun.
You want off the roller coaster? Stop dancing to his tune.
