Thumbs up New tires delivered, mounted and balanced in my driveway

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a really positive experience that I just had with Tirevan.Net.

Ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on Monday, there were installed Friday.

Same price as having had ordered them from various National Online Tire Merchants w/o the mounting. Not a bad deal at all

Installation:
Well it was a great experience. Really nice guys. Arrived on time, took about 1/2 hour. Were mindful of using the proper jacking points and starting all my lugs by hand and torquing to my specification. A+

Highly recommended !

Their prices are pretty good, too bad their service area is so small. Mobile installers are becoming more popular all the time. It's a great idea.

Hey Damon. I still love you guys. This however saved me some hassle of schlepping new wheels to a shop and tires (even if the tires were delivered there) and then bringing it all home.. It's a 911 after all not much room

It's funny but I think the last time I ordered a set of tires from TireVan.net they didn't have them in stock so they ordered them from TireRack and had them drop shipped to their warehouse. It's a win-win-win -- TireRack gets $$ for the tires, TireVan gets $$ for installation and I don't have to wait in a tire shop waiting room drinking crappy coffee and reading 5 year old Car and Driver magazines.

Yeah the are not bad, they left a hairline circular line on my rears the first time I used them. They did my truck once with no issues and the 2nd time on my 996 with no issues.

If I had aftermarket rims I wouldn't use them.
