Anyone bought tires and wheels online, mounted, balanced, and ready to put on the car? Who did buy from, and were you satisfied?

Yes, I purchased a winter snow tire and wheel package from www.tirerack.com and they delivered them mounted and balanced. Took maybe 4 days via UPS. No issues whatsoever.

If you're buying the items pic'd, there were no white lettered tires in '63. JMO, but I like my mid-60's with a correct look, granted, the Radials have a better ride, blackwalls out...

Print out the details of your on-line deal and take it to your local tire shop. Most will honor it, and then you get local service and warranty.

I know not what you’re looking for but good info for all here I believe. For good priced tires check out simpletire.com sometimes they have unbelievable deals, if you want they’ll ship them direct to your local shop and create an appt for you. For my daily I got 4 brand new 18” tires for around $250 shipped, $20 each at discount tire to mount and balance. Saved myself probly $700 opposed to going straight through DT for everything.

Just an update. Bought Torq Thrust Vintage wheels with Cooper Cobras online from Tire Rack.
