TIRE RACK ?????
I just tried to order tires from THE TIRE RACK online. I asked for 255/60/15,
which I hope will fit my '77. Anyway it gave me a selection of 6 different tires in that size. I picked the Firehawk SS20. When I tried to checkout, it told me it did not have a warehouse in my area to ship from, would I like another warehouse to ship for a little more money. I said yes. When I hit enter, it told me their was a problem with the server and what server was I using.
What's Up with THAT ?????? Can't even spend money when I want...
Sorry, Just had to vent.

Re: TIRE RACK ????? (vettecor)
I've never ordered from tire rack, but I can certainly relate to PC, server, network, etc. problems :rolleyes:
Anyway FWIW, I was looking at tires in my local Sam's club the other day and was a little disappointed that they didn't have the size or brand tire I wanted on the floor, but the guy there asked me what I was looking for, looked it up in his book and said he could have the tires to me in a couple of days. I've bought several sets of tires from these "discount" stores (Price Club, Sam's Club) and been very pleased. Just a thought.

Re: TIRE RACK ????? (1970 Stingray)
I have never tried to order tires from them online. I always call in instead, I speaking to a human. I have ordered 5 sets of tires from them and I'm very satisfied. I would highly recommend getting tires from them to anyone.

That happened to me once but when I called the next day everything was fine. I've ordered 2 sets of tires and my father has ordered 4 sets and we both are very happy with the service. :cheers:

Vettcor, Those are exactly the same tires I put on my 71. I would post some pics of them, but my pics are on my CF homepage, so they wont show until the homepage problem is fixed. The only clearance problem that i have with them is durring full lock left turns. The left front tire rubs on a bolt on the back side of the fenderwell and it makes a sound like the car is gonna come apart :eek: , but actually it just polished up the bolt for me :D Just curious of why you picked them too. I figured that they would have a stiffer sidewall since they are rated up to 42psi as opposed to all other brands that only take 35psi. This was the main selling point for me. I run mine at 38 right now and they handle great.

Re: TIRE RACK ????? (vettecor)
I can attest to a good experience with Tire Rack. I think it cost me $10 per tire to get them shipped to my installer. Still saved a pile of $$ over local prices. When you order over the web, you can trace the progress.
