Default Discounttires.com would sell me tire size I needed

3/4 tires were slashed few weeks ago. Decided I wanted to do 255/30/20 on front and 255/35/20 on rears. Already had 255/30 on front and decided to go for a better stretch on the rear, my 285/30 was to wide.

Discount Tires told me they could not sell me 255/30 for the front because the load amount did not me vehicle specs. I've never had a shop refuse to sell me a tire I wanted. They stated it was a safety concern. I explained it's worked fine for me before but they still refused. I ended up having to change tire sizes to 255/35 all around which required me to buy 4 tires when all I needed was 3.

I understand the need for safety but the liability should rest with the purchaser. Was somewhat disappointed since they have some of the best pricing for tires, don't know that Ill shop with them again if I cant buy tires that suit my needs.

Any suggestions for website or shops that have great tire pricing?
