I posted a while back that Americas Tire was owned by Tire Rack, this is incorrect. Americas Tire is a rename for Discount Tire, with home office in Arizona, do to a naming conflict in a few western states.

Discount Tire and Americas Tire are the same company.

Not to be confused with the Discount Tire operating in the above mentioned western states.

Just trying to keep things correct.

Yeah, when I moved from CA to AZ I had to deal with the change from Americas Tire in CA to Discount Tire in AZ. To make things worse, in CA where I lived, Americas tire was only one block apart from Discount Tire Company and I had dealt with both of them.

It's too late for apologies now Mister. Countless lives have been lost and many others injured because you didn't take the time initially to verify your facts. No, you were in too much of a hurry to post your information, never even thinking about those you would put at risk with your disclosure. I just hope you can live with yourself. . . . . . . what . . . . . . . Americas Tire & Tire Rack . . . . . . . . . I thought he said "America's under Fire, Attack" . . . . . never mind . . .

No but I got my thoughts crossed up. Wasn't the first and won't be the last I suspect.
