I use America's Tire or a local mobile tire installer. Both are very competitive with Tire Rack on the tires I use and take good care of me if there are any problems. I order them in advance and when they call I bring down the wheels or for street tires, just have them mount them on my car. I don't get extended warranty on track tires but always on my wife's Lexus.
Just before Christmas my wife picked up a nail so I took the car down for free repair. They said the tire was not repairable and found a sidewall blister on another one. These tires were 4 yrs old with 50k miles and I was eligible for 2 new tires free under dealer road hazard warranty. The others were close to the wear bars, did I want to replace them also? Yes I do. Four fresh tires for the price of two. A good day!
