He replied very quickly telling me how he couldn't match the price and how it wasn't his fault the tires were still listed on the site and he was just going to cancel my order.
I replied and asked if the shipping would be the same on the Hankooks as the General Grabbers and he replied quickly again "THAT IS CORRECT!"

I then emailed him telling to change my order to the Nitto Terra Grapplers and have yet to hear back a little over 30 mins later. Meanwhile all the emails before were 1-2 minute intervals. They're prices are good but customer service isn't very good from my expierence.
Do you have a discount tire near you? after looking on there website they have the generals for 173 a tire, im sure they will price match you..

The closest one to me is 50 miles away. I've been doing a little research on The Nittos Grappler AT's and think that's the tire I really want. I was going to get the Generals because I had them before and had good luck with them, but I want to try something different now, and think the Nittos look better. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I'll go to the Discount Tire and get the Nittos and be done with it. I never had so many problems getting tires before

The Lightning has had to sleep outside for a while. I took home the company convertible to put the interior back together and do some blogs on the install of most of the interior stuff we sell.



Makes me miss the old '87 GT convertible I used to have.

I think you'll enjoy them. Plus they look MUCH better than the Generals.
