Tire Rack - Military Overseas Shipping
For any folks that are Military overseas ordering from TireRack for APO shipping, here is a little bit of info from personal experience. I have made two orders so far with TireRack, and I gotta say, fantastic. There are 2 options for shipping APO, basically the slow and the fast. One is I think 2-12 weeks and one is about 1-2 weeks and costs about $20-30 or so for a full set of tires and wheels. I have used both. The slow shipping is slow... I think it took just about all 12 weeks. However, this time around, my order shipped on 10 October and showed up here today, 14 October. 4 days. Just FYI.

yup, the dealer sucked. I even took one out and checked myself. Even after they changed them to the right ones they still acted like they were right and said.. "well, if they say so then we change them, but we checked it the first time" Surprising from a German dealer. Thanks again Luke, for looking into it so in depth.
