Default Getting new tires

Well, after a ridiculous price quote to transfer my RFTs from my current wheels to my new wheels, I decided to price out some new tires.
Well, to my surprise, the best deal I got was from the Blue Oval Quick Lane site. Getting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP installed on my new wheels. The tires arrived at the dealer today and Wednesday they will be installed. Tried most of the other suppliers (Costco, BJs, Tire Rack, etc.) Either the Fronts or the Rears were out of stock.
Just hope they don't trash the under side when they lift the car.
I picked the ZP because of a decent price for the A/S version.

I am having my current tires mounted on my new wheels. Cost is $180 which includes changing the tires on the Hunter touch less machine and also road balancing all 4. I feel this is a fair price considering my new wheels are not cheap.

I thought about buying new tires but the Michelin A/S ZP tires are not available in Z51 sizes yet.

Sounds good. I was quoted much higher prices by two dealers down here.
Had I known prices were cheaper up north, l would have had the wheels shipped to family members in Milford. We were ther two weeks ago.
