How do you...
put your tires on your wheels if you order them online from tirerack or discounttires or something?
i mean the tires come to your house, but you have to bring them somewhere so they put them on your wheels, right? well, what if you dont have the trunk space to bring 4 tires to a shop for them to put your tires on. what do you do then?
just wondering since im in that situation. the firestone shop doesnt really have such a great selection of tires which suit my needs, neither does sears auto. so what are my options, really?

Um, I just threw em all in the back seat. You have a sedan just like me. Then drive to your favorite place to install. I just took mine to Sam's club.
Lol, I'm in the same boat. My rims come on Sat and I had a hard time to get my tires in my car. I'm just going to get a friend to carry my rims in their trunk considering I have a system in mine.

yo u can fit em.. i fit 2 sets of 19's in my car w/ sub box.
push seats forward.
put a tire behind each seat.. ush seats back.. put back seats down.. put 2 more tires in on top... then u should be able to fit 2 rims in front seat and then 2 more rims on top of tires in back.. rubber from tire will make em not slide around.. if u move ur box or if u dont have one u can fit more in trunk.. be careful when u close tho

People with S2000s get shadow hitches put on and tow a small 1 axle trailer... either that or they get motorhomes and tow the whole car. If you have to, make 2 trips. 2 tires should fit in the front seat, one should fit in the trunk, I bet you could squeeze the other in behind the seat.

You either find family and friends to help out or you'll have to be creative in stuffing your tires in your car. I had Ziex 512's shipped and put 2 in back seat and 2 in trunk plus 2 SI rims on the back floor while the other 2 SI rims went to my cousins CRV. SO driving was cramped but I managed.
