You don't have to install them there, if you do it's $15 per tire for balancing. I've had tires installed there for years and never had a problem.
I have bought many tires from CT, for the vans and pickup trucks and such.
For my 500SL I buy different tires.
I have always gotten good service from CT on tires and tire installation.
I had an old pick up truck that I did not use for a couple of years. When I started using it
again, it was seeping air out of the tireas at an annoying rate. I took the truck to CT,
and they took the tires off the rim, gorund off the rust and remounted the tires,
all free of charge, because the tires were bought there.

I buy tires from CTC all the time too... rarely anything else for my truck (aside from zip wax and cleaning products etc...
To date- never had an issue.

I guess that you're OK with buying Michelin tires but stay away from Motomaster brand tires. They suck.
Funny you say that because they are made by goodyear, general and BF goodrich. Just rebranded. There aren't that many tire makers around.....Cinema Face said:
Back in the day I wanted some better tires for my Grand Prix. I went to CTC and looked at Radial T/As for $240 a piece, then the motomaster for $129.99 a piece. I put the tires side by side and everything was identical including the codes on the sidewalls. The only difference was the name on the side.....
Yes, very few companies make most of the tires. The tire may look a like but the differece in price has to be made up somewhere and that somewhere is in the rubber compound. The better preforming tire are often made with very complex compounds and they don't come cheap.
I wouldn't have CT do any work on my car for anything. The shop is filled with shop monkeys from George Brown and they're paid peanuts.

He was making a derogatory statement about my Honda Ridgeline...jbar said:
Apparently "some" people around here don't think it is a "real" truck!

It is not what many consider to be a work truck. Most people who use their pick up for work have a full size bed. It makes it easier for hauling plywood and drywall.
Myself I like a 4wd but that is me.
That's not always the case, I went to the goodyear plant and watched motomaster tires and goodyear branded tires coming out of the same mold/line. The last step in the production line was putting the name on the tires and the tour guide indicated that the same production line, materials everything was used for ALL tires they made, didn't matter what name was on it......The price difference is made up in volume. The more you order the lower the price.blackrock13 said:
