Wow. So I took p-car's advise and sent an email to my local hunter rep (who coincidentally lives 3-4 miles from me). He called me about a minute after I hit the send button and had all sorts of great info for me. He's going to ask his alignment specialist to give me a call.

+1... a lot of the Tire Rack installers local to me are some of the dirtiest, shady and cheap-o tires shops around. Took my wifes 7 series BMW to the local Tire Rack installer and it was not a nice place but I went with it. Got the car back with missing BMW valve stem caps, tires inflated to wrong pressures and greasy prints on the seat and arm rest.

+2 on the Tire Rack Rec. Installers. They (the installer, who was also a cert. Dinan shop) fouled up the alignment on my BMW but I was turning in the car (end of lease) about a week later so I didn't pursue it.

RVK-I like Tischer alot but would never buy tires from them-way too expensive. I have for years used Radial Tire (about 5 mins off the Beltway down Georgia). Just had 2 rear 305-30-19 PS2's put on. RT charged me $525 or so per tire-the Rack was more. The guy to talk to is Sam. They are busy as hell, never get the tire pressure right, but do a great job balancing and mounting.
