Chad,
This should not be a problem. My dealer would not swap them, so I went to
the tire dealer instead. Since my tires were Goodyear (I suppose they are
still coming with the same CHEAP Invicta tires), I figure I'd get the best
deal from a Goodyear dealer. They had no problem swapping the tires off.
(The original Invicta's were swapped for Wrangler GSA's.) Check with a
dealer first and try to make your arrangements before hand. The tire dealer
I pre-arranged with gave me full price on the tires towards the ones I
selected as long as I drove no more than 100mi. on them. It was ~40mi. to
the Goodyear dealer from the Dodge dealer. I ended up paying the difference
in tire cost plus mounting and balancing. Good luck, I don't believe you'll
have any problem finding a tire dealer to accommodate you.

Subject: DML: Swapping Tires at the Dealer when new
Hi, everybody. Because my 99 R/T CC is coming with the Good-for-A-Year
tires on it, my brother suggested I inquire about the dealer swapping
them with something else, like a BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR4.
Historically, I've found that BF is better, and cheaper than Goodyear.
Kinda like aftermarket compared to OEM stuff. Anyways, has anyone ever
done this? Even with just a tire dealer instead of a car dealer? It
would be interesting to find out. Thanks. I sure love the DML!!!!!

P.S. I had a set of the 215/50HR17s Goodyear RS-A on my Avenger ES and
they held out for 85,000 kms (53,000 miles). Not too bad, but it also
could hardly spin them either :-)
P.S.S. Sorry if it looks like the start of my postings are chopped off
and for the double spacing. I don't know why it does that.
