for $10 you dumped the local tire dealer????

Jeez, they usually include free tire rotation for the life of the tires...
no to mention the good will they may come in handy if/when you need a flat
repaired or a rebalance...

seems to me this exemplifies the best and the worst of internet shopping...
great to help get competitive pricing... but if everyone dumped the local
dealer for a measly $10 there would be no local dealers when you need
them...
