Default No, but....

whenever you buy online, you are subject to fuinger pointing on the final product. Were the tires OOR or mis-balanced? No data, OK, spend $40-50 on road force balancing. So much for savings. Roadforce result is marginal? oh, maybe the manufacturer wont accept them back. Gimee a.......

I cannot tell you how many out of round tires i have been shipped. While the vendor i used was always ethical, the cost and time of proving fault was in no way worth it. Find a good local guy.

Default Not yet.

I inquired about a set of Nokians. The sales guy hounded me for 3-4 days before I told him I'm postponing the expense for a bit and didn't need the daily nagging.

My WRG2s just arrived this morning. I'm excited. I remember your name from when my 2002 A4 Avant was new. Still love it, especially in the winter and wanted some exceptional 'tyres' to make it feel new again.

Plus, if he's looking for Nokian, he won't find it at TR.

Default She

And she likes her Nokian WRG2s tremendously after maybe 10 miles. It's supposed to snow in Utah this weekend. Maybe she should take them for test run.
