@ Perfectlap,
I did not mean to infer that one shouldn't use these Tire Discounters. I have, and I still do. It's just that one must watch out for the out-of-spec Tires that seem to come from them with greater frequency.
And this is where the Dynamic Balancing and the Hunter GPS9700 Machine come in - they allow you to identify these defficiencies before you drive away on the Tires. With the Graphic Printout available, you can Prove your claim with the Discounter.
If you have to bear the shipping costs in exchanging the Tires (especially multiple times as I did), you'll quickly use up any savings you hoped to realize.
Tire Rack didn't want to eat the Freight Charges, but I had irrefutable proof that they sold me a faulty product - they couldn't claim it was a fault of the Car's alignment or suspension, which was their initial reply. I wonder if they didn't just re-inventory the Tires I returned and sold them to some other unsuspecting buyer?...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
