<div dir="ltr">Geo & All,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the info, most of the responses were positive pertaining to online purchases with only Hugh having reported issues. I was actually surprised there was only one reply reporting a bad experience, I would have expected more. Based on the majority having providing positive feedback I'm going to go ahead and order online. Hopefully I won't be the second one to report on a bad experience!</div><div><br></div><div>I will definitely ask up front what the mounting and balancing prices are before selecting someone to mount them. I too have noticed that those services seem to be escalating in price over the last few years. </div><div><br></div><div>I compared the <a href="http://tires-easy.com" target="_blank">tires-easy.com</a> prices and they were slightly more than TireRack. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Brad</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 12:07 PM, Geo Hahn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ahwahneetr@gmail.com" target="_blank">ahwahneetr@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Every tire on every car I have (with one exception) was purchased online.
