Props to Jeb and the gang. Ordered me up some impossibly large Hoosier A6s for the S2000, matching the Tire Rack's price in the process.

And talk about FAST. I dropped my bare wheels off, and walked across the street to get a gyro at Baba Ghanoush (itself a worthwhile endeavor). By the time I'd finished my gyro, my phone rang - the tires were mounted and ready to go.

I should point out that this was probably not a trivial mount - 245-40-17s on a 7" wide rim, and 275-40-17s on an 8.5" wide rim. I think it *might* have taken them 45 minutes.

Thanks Jeb.

The 245's might have been a bit annoying, but I regularly mount 275/40/17's on 8" rims for the STi myself. I can do it in that timeframe including dismounting.

Edited to add: That is good service from a vendor, though. Discount Tire has been known to get some Kumhos mounted for folks that other club sponsors couldn't, too. *cough* Well, Kumhos that I couldn't get, either.

Thanks for the props Karl, glad we could get it taken care of. While I am still lobbying for corporate to kick in some sponsorship dollars, I have become a "supporter". I offer preferred pricing and have no problem matching prices. Several on here have broght me pricing from Edgeracing, vulcan tire and Tire Rack. As long as I can verify it I can match it. If it is something unique to Discount Tire, like some of our wheels and select tires, I will offer a discount as well. Usually it is $25 off of a set of 4 tires and in the area of $50-$80 off for wheel and tire packages.

We can mount, flip and force balance as well and I do offer a small discount on more labor related tasks (see Mike WHitney's customer history).

Something I forgot to add that was an especially nice touch - they bagged up all the wheels for me. Which was really cool, given that I had to ask Chuck and Ash Nelson to cart my stuff to Greenville for me this weekend.

True. those tires have doubled the value of my car.

Just one minor update. I got caught out by some build problems at work this week, and totally spaced on the fact that I needed to have my Hoosiers flipped on the rims before Mike and I go wring the S2000's neck this weekend. I called Jeb, I think, today around ten in the morning? He said "sure, bring them by."

They were done in an hour and a half. On basically zero notice. At a place that does an impossible amount of business from my observation. Guess there's a reason for that.

Oh, and he's like a mile from Whitney's place, so if your codriver happens to be Whitney, it makes it a real nobrainer
