TireRack.com GREAT experience!!
I just wanted to share this with everyone.
You may remember my I need Tires ASAP thread, well, I went on tirerack and ordered my tires at around 5PM Friday afternoon. I used the UPS ground shipping option as I did not want to have to be present to sign for them. Anyway, they showed up Monday morning at 9AM!!!! I know that this has something to do with the fact that they have a warehouse in Newark, DE, and the UPS depot happens to be right around the corner from me, but I dont know many businesses that ship their products same day unless they are placed before noon. And this was a friday none the less!! Anyways... Precious is all happy with her new shoes

I have ordered lots of stuff from TireRack and it has always arrived very quickly. It has not always been the stuff I actually ordered that arrived, but they have been quick about taking care of that too.

Glad you had a good experience with UPS. However, UPS has made it to my **** list...
UPS Shipping prices are outright ridiculous!! I use Fed Ground 3 Day which is still cheaper than UPS. I had some real bad experiences with UPS in the past (From Customer Service to Package handling/ conditions). If I remember correctly tirerack shipped my tires via Fed Ex. Anyway glad you got your tires... |

CU can sure come up with some wacky findings/opinions. They are quite prejudices in some areas like health care. Some areas they should not even delve into where they refer their judgement to outside sources.

I spoke to Continental again yoday. They finally admitted that the earliest that they can have the Conti Extreme Contact tires is about mid-December. Then I called Tire Rack and changed my order to 4 Yokohama AVS dB S2 tires. I expect these tires to ship tomorrow.

I believe they are 225/50/16.
I was wondering if anyone goes any skinnier,
like a 205/55 16. Time to dust off the stock rims, and buy some snowtires! Tim 136K, and freshly waxed......... |
