they dont sell toyos, nitto, falken, or some other major players. hardly carrying them all. hell, i drove on 6 different toyos on the same car. different michelins, bridgestones, falkens, goodyears, contis, etc. i choose the t1-s over them all. some have more stick, some have more tread life. some are quieter, etc etc. im sure if i called luke and asked him what would be 'best for me', hed probly say the s03s. i dont like them and would be pissed if i spent that much money on those tires. if i called and he was "well rob, i think we dont carry the tire youre looking for, try such and such place for such and such tire", then, yes, id say hes a godsend. till that happens, hes just a person with a job. and as such, his personal experiences are different than mine. does that make either one of us less credible? no. my girlfriend has driven on almost all the tires i have, and straight from her mouth "its just rubber, who the hell can tell the difference?" so, technically speaking, she has 'more experience' than most that feel the need to ask for tire opinions. would you value her thoughts just as much as anyone elses? doubt it. and shell talk to you for hours as long as shes not being antisocial now if i knew exactly what tire i wanted and they carried it, thats a differnet story. even then, id go locally to a place that advertises amtching tireracks prices (pretty much everyone now a days) and see if they can beat them. most will, as they want to believe i will give them repeat business. seeing that i have a stock pile of tires that suit my needs (as told by myself, by my own personal trial and error) at my disposal, i have no need to order tires from anyone. tirerack does not carry that particular brand tire, so luke would be useless to me in this case, as in anyone else whos looking for the same tire and i have 'z32 specific knowledge' and talk like a woman, so id spend probly upwards of an hour talking on the phone
hey, i used to have a z! |
