Agreed. It's just part of it. eBay's the place to buy an incomplete set.

What was your cost? Hendrick in Charlotte was their warranty on sale for $450. I need to look at the fine print but that doesn't sound too bad. One bent wheel or two damaged tires and I'd break even.

believe it or not you break even at 1 tire. the cost of a front tire was $380, thats a 19inch rim. So at $450 your good
