Default Re: Dealers will actually decline our business given the chance

Sharon, I agree with you that calls are good. But calling 8 places would've meant being on the phone at work and you usually get voice mails and put on hold a lot in my past experience. It was just nice to be able to shoot emails out at 9pm. Again I don't hold it against anybody if they don't have an email address but if they post one they should answer. If they answer later in the week I will recant.

Thanks for the tirerack advice. Believe it or not, one of the dealers offered me a price that is less than tirerack's when you factor in shipping. I think this particular tire is being phased out and that my be trying to destock them, so I got lucky. I'm very happy with the quote I got, just didn't like the brush off from the non-responding dealers.

Thanks.
