Last year I was on the message board for the brand and model of car I owned at the time. A thread about replacing the original tires mentioned that several owners had replaced with a Continental brand and model and size and were very happy.

I looked at Wildwood Tire's website and they listed the tires for a better price than Tirerack.com, I asked do you have these. He said we would have them by 10am tomorrow morning. I said, do you need a deposit or appointment. He said, no, asked my name and said just come in tomorrow after 10am. The next day I got there about 10:30 and the tires were waiting and they installed them, it took a couple of hours. They are very busy, every bay has cars in line and 2 or 3 guys manning the front office desk are constantly answering phones and people walking in. Many are locals, kind of reminds me of the local bar, people come in and sit and talk about fishing or whatever and for a few minutes you feel like one of the Wildwood locals.
