maybe the tire scrubbing costs extra in some shops.  when i had the new
tires mounted on the TravelAll two summers ago, they were already white in
the dealer's shop.  i'd ordered them a couple weeks before, and when they
called me to tell me they were in, there wasn't any blue on them when i got
there.  considering the difficulty i had finding the tires i wanted in the
size i needed, and the cost involved in re-shoeing that truck, it seems only
right that they'd clean the tires before i left with 'em.
