t3mp,

Thank you for your quick reply! I have looked at this forum before and decided yesterday to sign up. It looks like there are a lot of knowledgeable members here who are happy to help each other.

As for the tires, I was concerned about buying from Tire Rack because I had heard you may get old tires. But I see the tires they sent you were good and fresh.

They do have the best prices by far. But they don't have an installer in my local area and I suppose you would have to use one of their installers if you need to have a tire repaired or replaced. I'm still trying to keep it local, if possible. Maybe I should check into whether there are any locals who would honor Tire Rack's road hazard plan.
