Couldn't get an online quote from their website.

I used Summit for pricing. When I do replace I'll most likely end up with a run flat style but that's most likely a couple years away.

Oh I know! I have a bike in the garage that my Camaro can't even sniff, especially in the adrenaline category. The USCA deal is about being around the people and watching the 'players' cars run for me.

That being said.........once you drive my Camaro you'll sell the Mustang.

Not at your level princess.

The $1300 number was factoring local mount & balance also.

When I'm serious about buying absolutely! Late last night I went to Summit, both Discount and America's sites gave me a call the local dealer for a price quote notification. I've dealt with the local Discount when I originally bought the NT's....and won't go back, the America's store is good for rigs like Betsy.

Just about everything I buy for the car and hobby shop is online as there are no brick and mortar stores within a 100 miles that support my car hobbies. Lots of gun stores, heads shops and breweries though.
