Online alternatives to Tire Rack for Yoko AVS tires
I need new shoes for the 18 x 8.5" technos. I was going to order from tire rack until I received an annoying spam from some company listing Tire Rack as a affiliate. Since I don't do business with companies that spam or work with spammers I need another alternative.

Uh, I never subscribed. Why should I have to ever unsubscribe from something I never subscribed to.
If a company wants to do business that way, they can have someone else as a customer.

Bought mine at the local Discount Tire (aka America's Tire in some markets) ...
Not sure if they have Disco's in your area, but mine had the OE size in stock (They also stock popular 18" sizes) and was competitive on price (factoring in S&H).
You can also order from <a href="http://www.tires.com">Discount Tire online</a> (they ship out of Scottsdale/Phoenix)

It came to my work email address which I don't use for anything. This spammer
obviously purchased some outdated spam list and went to work on it. Since tire rack is listed as a partner with this clown, I want to make sure business know what is and isn't appropriate on the internet. My email, my time, my choice to not buy from them.

Thanks Rob, I need to look around and see if we have discount tire here. Problem I had last time,
I bought local and the guy couldn't mount them on the Techno's that was Tire Pro's, he had to send them out someplace else to have them mounted.

D'oh! So where would you have them mounted if you bought mail-order?
FWIW, some Discount Tire shops have the very latest in mounting/balancing equipment, and I've used them for all of my 17 years of driving. They've never damaged a rim, are *usually* very knowledgable (what tires can be plugged and which have to be properly repaired, for example), and always competitively priced. Plus, for a nominal fee you can purchase repair/replace warranty that covers *everything* ... even stupid **** like running over parking garage spikes.
