Had problems all day. For anyone with an STi, Quicklane cannot install Hankook w404's because their machine will not work with low profile tires. Its a good thing they told me that after 3 hours or waiting. I bought those tires from them a month ago and they said they can install them. They then told me to go to American Tire Warehouse. That company will not install new tires on rims unless you bought the tires from them.

Car is now at Continental Subaru. RE070's suck in the snow and ice so I had to bite the bullet. :mad:

Johnson's on Denali can do them, but they are swamped all to hell. I dropped off mine at a small shop that my friend use to work at, they are a mechanic shop not a tire place so they werent busy at all, as soon as they get a free moment they can bang out my tires fo cheap

I just put my only two Blizzaks left on the Scort so I could atleast get some traction while trying to drive around.

All places should be able sell tires without mount and balence, if they don't their fools for pushing away easy business.
