Default I usually buy my tires from TireRack. Recently bought Dunlop 3Ds from TR,

but had to go with DiscountTireDirect for my Yoko W.Drive. I called TR first, but was told they would not be stocking them. Makes me wonder why.

Default Yes, considering they carry many other Yokohama tires. Same issue with Hankook...

Hankook iPike w409 is a great winter tire, but while other Hankook tires are carried by TR, the iPike w409 and also ice bear w300 are not. I have referred quite a few people to discount tire for the w409 as well. I'd love to refer people to TR instead as I feel TR customer service is great in addition to having an excellent website (much better than discounttiredirect.com )

Unfortunately we do not carry Yokohamas winter tires at all, sorry.

Or the 45% I lost in my 401k this year would be nice!
