Subject:Re: And now for NEW TIRES

forgot to mention, the matched price includes road hazard coverage, and of course regular rebalancing and rotations.  Interesting.  I just took them the price I got off the internet, waited until they quoted me a price, then told them what I had found.  They matched.  Bottom line, I got the tires, mounting and balancing, road hazard coverage, no shipping charge, all for what I would have paid for the tires alone had I bought them online, and I would have had to pay shipping.  Maybe it won't happen next time.
