That's quite possible in some cases, of course, but in my particular case the recommendation came via a telcon with a Tech Support person at Honda America in Torrance, CA, the tires came from TireRack, the Honda HFP wheels came from Bernardi Honda and everything mounted and balanced by my local independent tire dealer. Three qualified primary sources in my opinion and experience and certainly worthy of reporting on my web site, as I did, versus simply repeating some of the half baked opinions suggested on Internet automobile forums.
