Volks-

After having tires installed that TireWorks said had an adequate load rating
(but DIDN'T), they've done a little more homework and admitted that they put
wimpy rubber on Blackbeard and have agreed to replace them (at no cost) with
adequate ones.
Size: 205/70/R14

*THE PROBLEMS...
*1: They don't have beefy enough 205/70/R14 tires in stock.
2: They don't carry tires with the necessary specs company-wide, so they
can't order from a different store and have them shipped.
3: They've agreed to purchase from somewhere else (i.e. TireTrack.com), but
the 2 models that I've forwarded are not available (national back-order,
etc).
  * Those 2 models are: 1) General Tire Altimax RT   2) Firestone
Winterforce

Spoke with the GM of the shop yesterday, and he's asked that I send him any
and all applicable information regarding replacement tires so that he can
get them ordered ASAP.

*THE QUESTION:*
Will any listmembers who have recently purchased tires please PMAIL me the
information on the tires and where to get them?

I ask that you PMAIL me because I know how much everyone LOVES a good tire
thread!  :o)

Then, if anyone else needs similar information, feel free to pmail me and
I'll get you a comprehensive summary of the responses.

Thank you for your help!!!!
