Tirerack Installation at Corporate HQ

[zkay]

Hello

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with having tires installed by tirerack at their corporate headquarters in South Bend, IN. I live about 4 hours away and thought I'd take my dad there to get them installed and make a day of it. He's a big classic car guy and the Studebaker Museum is there in South Bend.

I am upgrading my RE 92 Potenzas at long last. My odometer is at 61k and have had the factory tires the whole time.

I am going with the Hankook Optimo H727 in 185/60-15 on stock steelies, seen here: http://tinyurl.com/os6bsbc

Also, as an aside: I already have decided on these tires, but do tires really make all that much of a difference in fuel economy? I have seen most people do not manage mid 40's on the potenzas, but then I've seen several say they've only gotten there on LRR tires (which mine are not). I am not expecting to lose much in regards to MPG when I make the switch, and I plan on having them filled with nitrogen.

I look forward to your replies.

Thanks,
