Call Kevin at KO Tire in Elk Grove. He is a Cooper dealer or will also install tires bought from Tire Rack, just tell TR to ship to KO. Nobody else touches my tires anymore, they do it right every time the first time. I live twenty miles away but still go there, even if just for a flat repair.

Just because tires are brand name does not assure quality. My wife bought a set of Good Years (225X60X16)and in less than a year, belts broke on two of them. She had not hit any holes or curbs, they just were not good tires. They replaced the whole set free of charge, so apparently, there was a problem they knew about. I have had great service from Dunlops. I have a set of them on my Malibu. My Cruiser has Uniroyals, which are great, as well. A friend had a Dean tire blow out on him a while back, so beware this brand.
i ended up with Hancook truck tires on my wagon. my originals were the 225's but ended up puttin 235's on it and i had to ask for WW.
I've got truck snow tires on my Buick also but they have a all season look for tread, how ever they are saying we're to expect alot of snow this winter. Our snow is wet and once a car drives on it, it's ice....I will be putting the Goodyear Wranglers from my truck on the Buick for the winter....looks, smooks, I perfer road grip over looks any time.
