while i do love a bargain, i'm in favor of supporting the locals when ever i can, either through their relationship with TR for drop shipping or just buying from their stock. this ain't 1999. Tino your local tire guy probably has internet if not a phone. he's trying to cut down on overhead too and is most likely buying his supply online. Not to mention the fact that if Javier and Kenny are being paid to put tires on my car, they probably wont be stealing them off the car at night.
