Operator: “welcome to inexpensive tire shopee, how can I asist you?”

Me: “do you have this tire in 225/40/r19 93Y? ”

Op: “we do but in 96W”

Me: “okay, not the same rating but whatever, I’ll take it”

*I go to the shop*

Not as fitting as I’d wish it to be.

Order online, take to tire place of your choosing?

While this may be true, you will at least have the tire, and can track its progress in the meantime.

I ordered a new full set of winter wheels & tires for my wife’s car last Wednesday around noon EST. They arrived at my house via UPS truck at 4:00pm the NEXT DAY, with free shipping.
