Don't hesitate to order from these guys. I just ordered some tires from them 2 weeks ago. Great customer service over the phone, and a fast delivery. Tires arrived when they said they would.

These guys are great. You cant beat free shipping and their prices are about always the lowest. I have used about 5 times and they have great service. I recommend them to everyone I know.

It says free shipping up above, how about on a tire that you dont have listed? Such as the General Tire Exclaim UHP, which can be found on tirerack. Im trying to work something out with the local Discount company here in my city although I dont think anything will change, pricewise, shipping, etc., is their anything you can do?

BTW, the tire size is a 275 30 19, if that makes any difference.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that I can do in that situation. I trust that your local DTC will do everything in their power to have a happy customer.

DTD is pretty great, ordered Nittos from there twice and I would order again. The only problem I had was when I ordered 2 555s to go on the back when my 555Rs go out, I ordered them a week or so before my stuff was leaving overseas, was hoping to get them mounted on the car but didnt get a chance, and when they arrived, I noticed that one of the 555s on the sidewall had a what looked like someone took a knife and cut half of the sidewall off at 2 places, and I noticed the tire has a "X" drawn on it, either it wasnt supposed to be shipped out from DTD or then a defect straight from Nitto. Im sure if there was time to send the tires back and such DTD would have taken care of it, but there was no time.

Other than that they are pretty great with customer service and I wouldnt let this single incident change my mind about them.
