@chines1 posted:@Napa Paul I have done business with 305 in the past without issue. In fact, Lane's tires came from Michael. Took about 2 1/2 months to get them, but they did arrive, as promised, and he told me from the start that they would have to be shipped in and would take a little while, so no gripe there... I do like to spend my money locally, and Tire Rack is a local (albeit large) business, started in our hometown.
I like that, too. I also like that they have some sort of relationship with Discount Tire. I’m loyal to them locally because they swap my summer/winter tires for free and when I want a tire they don’t stock, I can purchase tire rack tires through them for internet pricing. That’s how it worked on the Quadtracs for my Smart.
PS: Thanks for putting your weight behind this to get the tires for the community. I think you succeeded where any one of us, or even 5-10 in a “group buy” might have failed.
I’m hoping this leads to better availability of all VVredstein tires. I love them. I switched to Sprints on my VW/Volvos back when they were 1/2 the price of the Michelin XZXs that I’d used up until then.
