I get tires mounted and balanced at an independent shop due to return customer discount rate no other shops can beat.
edit:
So, recently bought General G-Max AS-05 for Forte from 4tires and they were made in 5018, very happy with price and shopping experience.
Also bought Sumitomo HTR Encounter HT from Amazon . com for Sportage and getting them delivered today, will pick them up at later date (in USA), very good price, $10/tire better than tirerack and free shipping, sold by amazon.
EDIT: corrections:
- Amazon price was $20 lower per tire
- G-Max were made 5017
