While I've not bought tires from him, but I've been in there twice when I've had a nail in my tire on the way to work. Both times I've been in and out of there in 30 minutes or less.... with no charge!

I once tried to get a nail repaired at Wal-Mart and they told me they couldn't mount/dismount my tire cause the speed rating was too high. They can't handle the ZR ratings apparently, haha.
Speaking of local tire shops, I went to a nearby Firestone the other day to get 2 new tires mounted on my GF's car. I ordered them online from Vulcantire cause Tirerack's system refused to let me order only two tires. Oh well, their loss of business. Regardless, so I took the wheels/tires off of the car to the Firestone along with the new tires. As i'm in the process of unloading them from my car, the manager dude at the Firestone starts looking at the tires on my car (Dunlop Star Specs, 2k miles old, but already visibly abused from weekend badassery w/ you guys), and starts asking me if there's a problem with my car, cause the tires "look fairly new, but very beat around the edges." I told him they're okay and it's a result of my driving style, lolz.
So then he tells me that next time I want new tires, he can hook me up with a good price on some "Potenza G019s" that are "much better tires than those runflats you're currently running" lolz some more. I told him they weren't runflats, as i'd never buy a runflat tire ever, but he insisted my Star Specs "look like runflats" since they're very low profile. 225/45/17 is very low profile now?
Good times.
Well, all tires are in and should be mounted today. I have used the DT on Davis for 6 years and have purchased tires for five different vehicles without an incident. Management has changed and is probably the problem. That is a shame as I like to be loyal to one place. As far as Tire Rack, I had a very bad experience with them a number of years ago with a set of POS rims. Their offer to correct the problem was not acceptable to me and I have not used them since. See everyone on Sunday. (Stevan - Is this a true statement?)
Speaking of Sunday, is it McDonalds at 7 AM?
jrj512 don't interrupt our thread drift.
I buy a lot of tires from DT on Ohio and Todd has given me a very good deal on a set of Hoosiers in the past.
Not for me. I'll be at the bus lot early to review course design/safety.
Which McDonalds?

Good event today. Congrats on the tire win, Sammm.
:clap: It took a cheater navigator to do it, but he was quick. :rolleyes:
Did anyone check the rule book about that moving ballast sammm was carrying? I just don't think that was fair. Cheater tires, cheater brakes, cheater ballast. What can you do?::Shrug::
