Tires are here.... went with Toyo Proxes, 320 AA tread rating but summer tire - I think a 200 rating would be a waste at this point

They shipped from California - so not sure they'd be as quick for you.... the back story, I wanted to buy local, but was told by Discount tire that they were discontinued and out of stock from the manufacturer.... they are also 1/3 less (even a touch more 991 delivered vs. 1781).... date is good on them, and they were delivered quickly... poor discount is going to have to mount them ;)Doing it all wrong since 1966

Dan, another options is TireRack. They have decent pricing, quick shipping and local installers if you want to go that way.
another that works is Simpletire.com

Interesting! Our youngest son is a Discount store manager - he just got his own store in Toledo Ohio (he's been an assistant manager) where he's sorting out a store that was poorly managed for some time. He's a great manager and a super guy - the guys at that store think they've died and gone to heaven. I'll ask him what the linkage is - or isn't - between the stores and the online business.
Simpletire might be OK but I was hoping for some smart tires! Some that'll save me what I do something dumb......

ive had best prices/availability with amazon, AND a lot of it
ships free with prime. only potential problem is warranty/returns....
anyway, the 36" swampers were $469 each locally, a comparable 35"
patagonia was $139 each at amazon and shipped free.
thats $1880 for 4 tires locally, OR $560 for 4 tires at amazon.....

there is a highly evil part of me that wants to take these tires to be mounted and balanced at Les Schwab.... just to see if he's as spineless as I believe he is..... just the wheels/tires.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; March 6, 2021, 11:49 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

who knew a 315/30zr18 and 345/30zr19 could fit?
but I digress, I drove half way across Washington today to pick up some tires/wheels..... they're C7 Z06 wheels with Hoosier A4 tires (that are seriously date challenged 1/15 and 2/15)
what's under it is 275/35zr18 and 305/30zr19s
they fit/don't hit - the caveat is the A4 tire has quite a radius sidewall otherwise there would be problems
oof da they're huge
and they fit
the 345 does fit very well on the rear
so the puzzle, leave them the same color, paint them? paint them what? likely these will be the going to town tires and wheels (the new tires on the z06 wheels).... I'll put the slicks on the other wheels for days when I need a 40 treadwear tire....
