While I realize that most of you guys are not in the Phoenix area and I can't help you - Xtreme (with whom I am affiliated) maintains an account with Tire Rack - and we routinely order tires, then mount and road force balance them. We typically charge Tire Rack's retail price plus shipping (just like you would pay) for whatever you need.
Difference is we order the tires and have them shipped to us - we notify you when we receive them, and we schedule a mount and balance. Pretty easy!
So for any of you in the area - we can handle your tire needs, through Tire Rack.

On the tire rack site you can find a shop to install them for you.
The first set I bought I took to a local Les shwab shop who put them on for me, but had a bad attitude because I did not buy from them.
Even though I tried to buy from them first, but they could not get my sizes.
The second set I took to the shop from tire racks site, and they did a good job.
You can also have the tires shipped to their shop, so you do not have to haul them over there.

I bought some Michelins Pliots A/S ZP's for the rears from NTB. They wanted $311.00 a piece, but I did some checking, and Tire Rack wanted $255.00, and NTB matched the price. The ZP also come with a 45,000 mile warranty on them. I haven't found any other tire for the vette that comes with a warranty on them. They are quiet, and so far really do like them. I bought the road hazard from NTB, and they cost about $280.00 a piece for them.

Get some of your money back. See Michelin website. Can download the warranty. Print it out and get a refund. You paid TWICE for the warranty.
