Yeah I have been reading up on that who iKona thing, not impressed. You know it would be nice to see Internet Brands take the lead in responcible management when it comes to moral integrity of sponcors.

It is not that I don't think Tirerack is a good sponsor, but it would be nice if they took a minute to listen to what people are saying especially when it comes to fitment and take that feedback and use it to make their products even better.

I really don't understand why I come up against such feirce resistance when I am mentioning to the problems with certain fitments. The only result of somebody odering it is they have to return it, that isn't the proper way to do business when you have so much information available to you to correct the problem early on.

The whole not reccomending 195/40/R17 issue is really bothering me as well. When I questioned it he said it was load capacity... this is not true. It was just a method of deflecting the question instead of having a serious look at it. If it falls under the no-reccomendation list maybe he needs to flag it to the management guys at TireRack to have another look at it.

The biggest issue I have is they keep reccomending seriously wrong wheel offsets. It seems like they are reccomending offsets that are too low and the wheels that are available with higher offsets are not being picked up by thier online program. Maybe we can have a member with a stock Fit to go up to visit them and get this nailed down the right way? That would be the ethical way to do this.

I will credit Jim for being calm and cool, he does have good insight. The issue is more the information he is provided through Tirerack rather than his advice. I would like to see TireRack remain a sponsor here, they do have an excellent reputation when it comes to sales & business which I am in full support of.
