Tire Rack

Luke@tirerack · Aug 29, 2013

A few days shy of me being a 13 year forum member Tire Rack is no longer the official sponsor of the wheel and tire forum.

I, as well as Tire Rack, would like to wish the VCA and it's members, many of whom I consider to be great friends, the best of luck going forward.

Wow hate to see that Luke but I will still buy my tires from you or your partner Jon. Im sure other owners will do the same. Best prices and shipping service for sure.

Thanks Luke, for all of your support over the years.

I hope that the recent (ongoing) controversy wasn't the thing that caused you to stop being a site sponsor.

Sad indeed. Hopefully things will get better and you'll be back.

He has had to pay to be a vendor, while the VPA moves into the tire business.

Sad if this is true.

***?!
Luke always did a great job for us.
I like VPA but I would rather keep parts and tires seperated.

It is truly sad that we have to find out why he is leaving from another forum.

Good luck Luke

I thought the idea behind VPA was that it wouldn't compete with vendors. Maybe that was an impossible idea?

That lasted about a month.

Sad news Luke, as we have relied on you and Tire Rack for years. Heck , you screwed me up when you switched your extention to #4362 as I have been telling folks for years to catch you at #362. Did you get the other number added for Senority , ha.

Will stay in touch and hopefully , sometime in the future, we can see your smiling face back on the Forum, along with TireRack.

Let's hope near, near future. Like maybe less than a week. :2tu:

The folks that are/were running VPA did not care about that aspect, or did not care.

Hopefully Tirerack will be back. Because of them being on the forum, I have become a customer of theirs where I probably would not have been otherwise. (Previously only went local. Now I divide my business.)

That's ok because I have been a Tire Rack customer since 1996 and will remain a Tire Rack customer. I can't tell you how many sets of tires I have purchased since then, tires for two trucks, my Vettes, her BMW and the last set for the ACR.

Just a reminder:
Luke and TireRack are both going strong...Luke shipped tires and sensors to my favorite installer (Aaron at Northwest Frame) last weekv for Wife's Commander...painless and timely transaction!!

THANKS, Luke...for the service and friendship. You have MANY fans in our area.

Yep! Just bought a set a SS's a couple of weeks ago. He was actually a little more expensive than VPA, but I know where I'd rather send my $$, and Luke is the way I went.

Just purchased 2 sets of sensors from Luke...great guy to do business with.
