idk about you but I would much rather spend a few more bucks at a local auto repair shop than use an internet site, plus if something happens(defect or something) the shop you bought and had the tires mounted and balanced at will take care of whatever issue you may have. one more thing. you buy the tires online then pay 20-25 per tire for disposal, mount, balance, valve stems etc. that’s usually included in the price per tire at a repair shop so take that into consideration as well ---
