What was TireRack thinking?

[Penasack, Tim]

I ordered rims and Dunlop Winter Sport M2's for the S4 last week. I wanted
the rims that look as close to the stock ones as possible so I had to wait
for TireRack to come in.  They were delivered while I was away on a business
trip and when I got home last night my first stop was to take a look at what
got delivered (wife was out and I all ready knew that!)
 
When I walked into the garage I noticed for very nice looking tires/rims
bound with strapping and the rims covered by cardboard.  But something
looked peculiar with the tread patterns they didn't seem to match.  So I cut
the straps on one of the wheels and the rim is nice but the tire was a
Blizzak not what I ordered. I then looked at the other wheels and this is
what I received all on the correct rims:
2 Blizzaks
1 Yokohama
1 Dunlop
 
So what the hell where they thinking - Oh a snow tire is a snow tire is a
snow tire....
 
Anyone got any explanation - anyone - anyone - Bueller - Bueller??
 
I called them and they are shipping 3 more of the correct tires and I will
take them to a local shop to be mounted (they will pay for it of course).
The rep on the line had no explanation.
