I haven't heard of them either. One thing that has always worked for me is finding the best prices, then going to Discount Tires and they matched the price every time. Actually better b/c then you have free flat repair. Always worked in my favor.

Never hoid of 'em, but I had a great experience purchasing my 4 tires from Tire Rack. Price was right, timely delivery, and found a local shop to mount and balance.

Spent $520 from click to roll!

Thanks for everyone's replies. I went to their website and found that they have their headquarters in Germany and supposedly have forty warehouses to supply their tire sales. However, I am over a day in waiting on e-mail to find if they have certain Michelins in stock. I didn't know it would be such a task to check your own inventory and reply with a simple yes or no!!!
Their website is www.tires-easy.com
Tks, dchev

Tires Easy did reply to my availability question. I have now asked them the difference between a 95Y and 99Y designator on the Michelin 275/40 ZR 18 zero pressure tire. Does anyone know the difference between the designators?
Tks, dchev
