The trigger has been pulled. The small shop I used before will get my business. I figure $100 price differential isn't going to make or break the bank when the overall price is 2K.

When I had all the probs w/DT repairing the tire a while back, I had to pay them to dismount the thing (even after paying the fee for the lifetime repair/balance BS). I paid the fee so I could repair the tire myself.

The small shop remounted that tire & balanced it for me. When I went to pay, they said not to worry about it. I handed over $20 for some pizza & offered my sincerest thanks for not being corporate 'bots'. I've bought tires from them since (for the T/A) & that's when I found out that during the last purchase of tires from DT for that car, DT installed the directional tires backwards (I felt like an idiot for not ever verifying they were installed correctly).

The ironic part of this story . . .... the small tire shop is "Scotts Tires" .

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
