Yeah, I always buy my tires from tirerack. I get a kick when I order tires for my 97 Subaru that tops out around 115mph or so without a LONG place to hold the pedal. They call and tel me they don't recommend tires below H speed rating for my car (which I already know is 130mph), I forget the rating on the ones I'd ordered, so I asked him what the speed was and he says 118MPH. "Umm, yeah I think that'll be OK" (:
As for name brand, yeah I'm a believe in that. I had an issue before with some no name brand, and my 83' 300D has some "sam's club specials" on there that came with the car and they have a "bulge" in the sidewall of one of the tires. So far no problems, but it's a bit unnerving. I'm not against cheap tires, but I prefer a brand name I've heard of...
