well i ended up getting BFG ATs instead of the coopers, the guys at the tire shop that i ordered the coopers from kept jerking me around so i called up discount tire and ended up getting the BFGs for $5 a piece more than the coopers. i got them back to work, took them next door to the only shop i trust to do work for me (im very picky about who works on my stuff and i expect alot out of paid professionals) and they got them all mounted up and balanced. i picked them up, shot the shit with the guys for a bit and then headed back to my building to clean the wheels up a bit when i noticed a gouge in the inner side wall of one of the tires! back to the shop i went, got it dismounted and circled the hole so now im going back to discount to get another tire, hopefully without a hole in it this time! buying new tires seems to be as frustrating for me as waiting on audio equipment to arrive by mail!
