I've thought about going online , but sadly next to none offer free shipping to us up North. Then as i mentioned if i pick a brand thats not easily available and i have a blowout, then i'm kinda screwed if i want to match up for a repair etc.

You guys in the south have a huge advantage, selection, price wise over us Northerners . Not just on tires but on automotive on a whole, plus many other products sadly...

Beer, groceries , you name it. Although , our beer is usually more money, sometimes its worth the extra cash. haha
