Couple things I can offer about tire availability.......People are running their tires longer leaving a crappy core selection. Treadwright is in Houston, their access to cores is more limited compared to say Tire Cappers in Nashville which is in the center of the country with easier access from any direction.....

Unusual as we both know an out of state sale doesn't apply, unless they have a presence in state shipped to.......look for a local distributer in your state, might explain that as I doubt Tenn. requires out of state sales tax. This is being forced on a few of us in internet sales by some states, but to the best of my knowledge has yet to be enforced by any. It would lead me to believe there's a registered distributer in your state, which by law, requires tax.

If there is a registered distributor though they would be required to collect the WY tax though. They were probably confused.

I've never paid tax on an internet order being shipped to WY.

I used to have guard dogs on my old exploder. They were good tires. Wore well. But I do remember one thing I always hated about them... Too much traction. I couldn't even break em loose in mud. Had to wait til there was ice on the road to feel like my truck had any power lol

It's not being wheeled so it hits, but only lightly.......You are correct though, I need to find 10 minutes to address that area until lifted.....Just so dang busy over here!!
