I might get rid of my 315s and trade them or something, the fronts seem to be balding more

Maybe check alignment. Usually rear tires start balding before fronts. Then again it depends on brands of tires, etc.

I bought my 275's and 315's from tirerack.com and got a really good deal. They were half the price compared to the local tire shops.

Discount Tire & Tire Rack are good sources.When I was looking for Tires for my C5's I just went on google.Typed in different tire sizes and looked under shopping.Came across a business selling (4) Cooper Zeon 2XS 275/35/18's to just get rid of last in stock and cost I think like $325 Shipped to my door.Just a idea.

yea I needed a large tire replaced under warranty (315/40-23) and the guys at Alafaya never bothered to call me back.
So I drove up there to see them face to face and the guy said"well I didnt call you back after calling the factory on the warranty because I was sick a couple of days" Me," that was a week ago,why havent you called them yet?"

So I went back to the 436 store and had them order the tire.

Took Blazer in Yday had them repair a flat that was for my other truck,rebalance the ones on the Blazer....no charge.
