Or you can just push a few keys while on their website and order anything
you want, without the human interface that seems to annoy some more than
others.

My experience with the Tire Rack has been very good, when I bought tires
for the V8Q, they were not listed on the V8Q pull down menus, ordered
them by size with no problems.  They were the deal of the decade, $44
each for Z rated Yokos...no they don't have anymore, V8Q listers made
sure of that. ;-)

Bought a set of pricey rims (cheapest price was the TR) to ship overseas,
again, ordered on their website with no problems, don't even recall
punching in a vehicle application.

Isn't the TR an Audifans sponsor?  Is it really appropriate to badmouth
the place over such a trivial matter on the very list it helps support?
It's not as if they offer a bad product or deceptive practices, to the
contrary.  IMHO

This seems to be a recurring theme, this over reaction to life's petty
little annoyances.
