Default Tire Rack Package Questions

I want to buy a 17 winter tire package from tire rack. Is the site's info about what wheels they give you pretty good as far as correct fit?

Anyone buy wheel/tire combo from them? What wheel and what tire? I leave in Reno, so it is like a 10 minute drive to pick up the wheels and tires, that is why I want to go through them.

Thanks in advance.

Default Re: Tire Rack Package Questions

I bought the Dunlop Winter Sport M3 235/45-17 with AT Italia wheels from them and think that they do a great job. All you have to do is mount them - they are already balanced and ready-to-go. However, their site says that they are out of stock on the Dunlops for the season.

All you have to do is bolt them on and you're set - they're prebalanced and ready to roll.

Default on the second set I bought from them they were out of balance

and I had them reebalanced and they were still out of balance. i called them up and wanted another wheel/tire shipped and was told they are out of the tire. So I said WTF ? I can't run 3 wheels /tires and then the 4th wheel with another tire, so I'm screweed till MArch when I'll swap the snows out.

Default Are you sure you can actually pick up direct from them?

I live a couple miles from the DE warehouse, but they do not allow customers to pick up there. Probably something to do with the type of business license they have. I had to pay UPS shipping to get a wheel/tire set from them.

They worked with me on determining fit (I had a BBK). I ended up ordering a wheel from them first to make sure it fit, and then returned it, before ordering my wheel/tire set.
