No way, I'd never do that to any place I did business with, I know how I felt when some customer asked me to install his own parts, no way would I do it. People who did install tires from somewhere else found they were suddenly the one who warrantied the tire, if you explained that seller, TireRack or whoever was responsible the customer got angry and you lost a customer.

Much better to say, "We don't install anything we don't sell".

I have done this several times in the last 8 years with Discount Tire. There has never been a problem.
The last time I was in, they did not have the Toyos I wanted and they were the ones to suggest I order them and have them sent there. That is pending until more MSU's arrive...

Also, iirc, Discount Tire was pushing the warranty, (at cost, like with all of their tires), on the mail-order tires as well as the ones that they carry.
No reason that they shouldn't, warranties make a lot of money for them.

I have always turned these warranties down anyway. It's a pretty easy decision to make when the tires are replaced almost annually.
