I went to a shop once on the recommendation of several people. Told me on the phone that he had the size and brand I needed. When I got there an hour later, he did not have them. So he sold me something that was OK, but not really what I wanted. I watched his tire guy roll out 4 tires that were not even these. I thought they were for someone else. When I started to put them on my wheel...I stopped him. This is SoCal so we had a bit of a language problem. Back to the manager....."oh he made a mistake!" Now they did not have the second tire he suggested and want to upgrade me to something else. Told him to put my tire back on and I was out of there. I have told this story to anyone who mentions maybe buying from this tire store.
