The reason given for them doing the tires were the sensors in the wheels. I asked a Bridgestone dealer about that at cruise nite and he about gagged. He said those are common these days and that they had done many with no problem. The last time I shopped tires ['01 Accord] I priced the Honda dealer. They were about 30% higher than everyone else.

Funny you should mention 'Vettes. One of our customers had a new one about 10 years ago and the tires quickly cracked. The Goodyear dealer handed him 4 new ones but could not mount them because they could not get the car on their rack. Same thing happened to me a few years ago at Sam's Club with our '89 Camaro convert-would not fit their rack.
