I bought Yokohama tires for my LandCruiser at Tire Rack(good
prices, no sales tax) and had them installed at a new Super WalMart(new
balancing machines) with lifetime balance and rotation for $7.95/tire(I
think they have since stopped doing this for tires not purchased at WM) and
watched through the window as the tech used a torque wrench to tighten the
lug bolts.

I was surprised and pleased that the Sam's Club Michelins I bought for EM
were finished with a torque wrench. Don't know about other places as I
have
only bought there for years.

Since I don't want the wheels tightened with an impact wrench - I takes
the
wheels (all 4) off and take them to the shop for new tires.
They don't have a clue which car they'er going on. Most will ask - so tell
them one that takes the tires you're buying.

Discount Tires has a good selection and prices -- I have a question
though - was in our local Costco and the guy there said they are only
allowed to install the size specified by the manufacturer as the
original size. I have to go back for something else but will stop in
the tire dept and ask if that a store policy or a state mandate.
Has anyone run into this? The www.discountire.com website offers
several tire size options. Also, they seem to like Falken Tires - has
anyone tried these?
