[Tigers] having tires mounted that you don't purchase

[Chris Thompson]

It's a great point about supporting your local quality tire shops.

I used to buy my tires at TireRack, but no more.  I check their prices, 
and then go to my local "good guys" shop and negotiate.  They can 
usually match the price, but sometimes they can't, and that's ok.  It's 
an honest shop and a great service to our community.  I would rather 
seem them make a few bucks off the tires than TireRack...

I think since I haven't got a horror story like that to speak of, I just haven't fully appreciated the risk....of course my (fake) cobra wheels were reproduction pin drive Halibrands (only there are 17") and were purchased new from vintage wheel in California just days before taking them to discount tire...so they are very replaceable....and I felt confident after my order was taken from the manager of the store who was my age...that they had it under control...but I guarantee I will take great caution if I find myself in a similar spot with any wheel situation like the one you described...especially one that involves a valuable wheel or anything like that..
