I want to get the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 and in the following sizes...

F: 305/30-19
R: 275/35-19

I dont understand why it's the shops business? tell them I am paying you, so I am your BOSS!! They dont honour your request, show them your a$$ on the way out

Because they don't want to be held liable if something goes wrong. If they don't feel comfortable doing the work, just find another shop.
