Just a heads up, I recently purchased some tarmac 2's from SubyDude, and like an idiot, had tires installed on them at America's Tire in Walnut Creek. Even after specifically asking that they be extremely careful with them, when I came to pick the car up, I noticed that 2 of the 4 rims were scratched up pretty bad. They tried their best to hide the damage, but not much luck on their part. They did say that they would replace the rims, but its still a pain. I guess I should have known better and just payed a little more to have tires put on them at SubyDude...live and ya learn. As I was going over my sales order, I noticed that they charged me for tire disposal, even though I had my old tires sitting in the back of my car. Lesson to be learned: You get what you pay for, so from now on I will have work done on my car at a place that actually cares about what they or doing, or, just do it myself.

 

I suspect the shop used an outdated tire mounting machine.
