Yeah, I have gotten that same type of attitude from 4 Wheel Parts and another local 4X4 shop. If it isn't something more mainstream they don't really want your business.

The shop I usually go to, however, has been more than eager to help me out and make the experience so that I just want to keep coming back for more. That shop is High Country Performance 4X4 in Englewood, CO. They're a great bunch of guys and are always glad to help. Sometimes they can be a little pricey (compared to DIY, that is), but they're good at what they do and "no" isn't in they're vocabulary.

For tires, though, I always go to Discount Tire.
