Sears won't change my tires

I went to Sears because they have the full Kumho line available and the price was good, but they said that if I have RF's they have to put RF's back on. Their lawyers won't let them put anything else on. I can, however, remove all of my rims have the tires removed and then bring them in and they will put the tires of my choice on.

I guess I'm going to have to have tirerack.com ship em to me and go to the black market to get them mounted. PITA!

I went to a best deal tire (I know the owner) with my Tire Rack purchase and they were happy to get that run flat "Flintstone Ride" crap off of there for me.
Not just because I know the guy, he will do that for anybody.


Ask around...you should be able to find a shop that will do them for you.

And I would never let Sears touch my mini.....
In fact, there are a lot of places that I would never let touch my mini.

I think that's what I'll end up doing. I can't find anyone where I am that can get Kumho except for Sears without a giant markup.

Same thing from Firestone here in Colorado Springs. If it came with RFs they will only
replace with RFs.

Tire Rack has agreements with shops to install tires. Check their website for ones near you.

If you live near a Discount Tire Store go there. I've dealt with them from the west coast to the east coast. Their service can't be beat, they will match anyone's price, and maintenance & repair is free.

No discount tire and tire racks's installer list here is sears and Firestone. I found a local shop that specializes in European cars.
