People here in the USA actually buy tires for their BMW from other than Tire Rack?

I bought four new Yokos from The Tire Rack for my E34 last spring and they were only three weeks old when they arrived at my house. Made in Virginia, too. If you're relying on your local gas station, local tire store, Sears, or WalMart for tires, you're gonna get whatever they have.

Anyone else catch the staged drama of showing blown truck retreads on the side of the road? That's a stretch to an automotive tire problem. How much damage is there to vehicles on our roads every year because of tread separation on re-capped truck tires, and you'd think that'd be a more regulated area. It's not.
