When I go to the Michelin USA web site and to their 'Dealer Locator' and
enter my zip code, it lists "Sears Auto Center" as the nearest dealer.

Actually, I think Sears sells more tires than any other company,
Michelin would be shooting themselves in the foot if they refused to
supply Sears with tires.
