I have never heard of tire buyer before, but I checked the Altimax HP, which I run on my 140SD and they are the same price as tirerack, but they have free shipping, so I would be saving about $70. Do they always have free shipping? Anybody used them before? On 12/11/2010 2:34 PM, Max Dillon wrote: > Well, TireRack couldn't deliver the tires before early January, and I need > them earlier.
