Old smart you are right. I would have Tire Rack ship to where I was. I just plan to have tires available so I can control the price better

Some places will refuse to install tires that aren't purchased from them even if they don't sell your size. I've seen that personally with Firestone which doesn't sell my size but refused to put the tire on because I didn't buy it form them.

Well I have had some less than satisfactory dealings with Firestone and I tend to steer clear of them.

Yah, but there is a difference in buying and stocking two as opposed to buying the one you actually need.

My mechanic was able to get the right sized tires in within a day when I had a blow-out on my 450. He was also able to get snow tires that I really liked having on this winter.
