I picked up 2 complete sets of Falken Ziex 512 345-50-16's. Great price. It was perfect timing. I called Mike while already deep in OC dropping off parts at my powder-coater. The place Mike directed me to was on my way home. After picking up the tires (which fit perfectly under the tonneau cover on my truck) I dropped in on a vendor to chat and shoot the breeze for a few minutes, hand him a check (saved a 37 cent stamp!), then headed North to pick up some tooling I'd bought on eBay. While there I found the perfect tool for one of my operations. A perfect round trip.

Thanks again Mike for "hooking me up".

yeah, Mike hooks me up all the time. He can always beat summit's prices by at least 20-30%. If anyone can find a better price Mike will actually reach into his own pocket and pay you the difference

Don't let Mike tell you 'no', he can't do it. He just wants to make sure you really want to see the savings. Only the dedicated receive his attention. You are the customer, or at least want to be, and the customer is always right. I get my best results by buggind....er....emailing him 12 to 15 times per day. I initially tried 1 to 4 emails for getting my shopping list taken care of but through experimentation i found 12 to 15 emails gets the job done. Persistence is the key here folks.

So that's the secret. The 1 to 4 method has proved ineffective for me as well.
