I think probably the biggest change has been the overwhelming growth of the internet , and the similarly baffling decline of brick and mortar retailers......I understand the get it now/ cheap thing , but I feel somehow shortchanged that I can't touch , feel, smell the product I'm buying.........

By that do you mean that the CEO/President bought the company ?

I think the issue is that with the smaller rims you can get tires from just about anywhere.
With the bigger rims you are limited like 2old2fast says to about 4 manufacturers.
And lets be honest these big rims can get very expensive, and the tires to go on them are expensive.
This is a significant investment and you want to get it right the first time.

The internet is great for buying things fast, cheap and easy. Some times I want to touch, feel and look at what I'm buying before I buy it. There are times that I don't know what I want and would like to look around and hold it in my hands first. That's what's good about going to a store and looking around.

We are getting a bit off topic here.
But I still would like to add my 2 cents here.
The governments recycling incentives have done more harm than good. (this may only apply to Canada I don't know how its going in the states)
What once was a wrecking yard that people could go to and by parts has now become car crushers for scrap prices.
This has major trickle down impact.
1) It is almost impossible to keep an older (15 years) vehicle on the road for a decent price.
2) There are no decent older (15 years) vehicles to buy they have all been crushed.
3) This separates the lower class from the upper class even more and eliminates the middle class who have the means to do the work on there own vehicles.
4) The insurance companies consider a write off if it needs a paint job and it gets crushed.
OK .. back to Tire options for the big.
