Service Available - Good deals on tires

This will be my first time to the national rally and I am looking forward to it. Will there be any service available for our bikes? Thinking of buying some tires since by the time I get there, I will be due for new shoes. Is this a good idea or will the selection and availability be limited and no way to install them?
 
In the past there was at least one major brand present and they installed on site. I see Michelin is on the vender list.
 
I have been to 31 of the past 32 national rallies. I have bought tires at a few, and not at many. I try to plan to not need tires at the rally because I am usually too busy to want to take the time. But prices are usually OK, if not great. I prefer to plan to get tires vefore or after the rally, but if you must - I guess you must.
 
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Yes, never a good idea to stretch the mileage on tires just to get a good deal. Availability and the time factor are another matter and since this is my first rally, I think I will for go the stress of trying to get them there.
 
Good idea to try and book a time either before or as soon as you get to the rally, as they get quite busy.
