New Tirerack Location

I just got off the phone with Tirerack. The unofficial word is that Tirerack is opening a distribution center in Windsor. This means that tire and wheel purchases from Tirerack will now include sales tax for Connecticut residence. It also means that buyers can skip those nasty shipping costs by picking up their tires in Windsor. So taxes are up, but shipping costs are down.

No word on getting your tires mounted at the new facility.

That's the last straw. I'm moving to New Hampshire.

I purchased my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s at The Tire Store in Flanders and they were cheaper than Tirerack without any haggling. For what it's worth.
