It was my fault I put down 245\40\19 in my 1st email which should have been 35.
so they quoted me on what I put down.
BTW all you guys should buy at tirerack they are very good and you will get 2010 tyres and not old 1s and also save about 35% on each tyre

you do know that all HK tyre shop will not give a warranty on the tyres.
the tyres I am getting have 1 year warranty from tirerack which I love.
I have got tyres from 2 shop and both have given me 2009 tyres which pissed me off so will never buy tyres from then again.
there nothing to daring about the tyres I bet the 1s from tirerack are 1000 time better than HK 1s.
the guy said it is 100% 2010 tyre and they dont keep old stock like HK.

for the VMR it is 45% less than HK about $1700hkd each.

agree, the time and hassles spent on such tiny saving just don't justify on this occasion..

is it easy to find tire shop to get the tire fit when we bring our own tires? no idea how much they are charing for fitting in the tyre and balancing the wheel. I usually get them to do alingment for free when fitting tires.

Amen brother. But, each to their own!
