Cheap Tires
Just wondering where you guys look for tires. So far the best place I've seen is tirerack.com
It's ridiculous that even with shipping its still way less than my local tire shops!

Some local places will pricematch........I got TiresPlus to knock like $30 bucks a corner off just by telling them Tireracks price. Their price wasn't quite as good as Tireracks, but it was A LOT cheaper than the price I was originally quoted. It is worth a shot.
Also, if you are not necessarily looking for a specific tire, Sams Club (maybe even Costco) has good deals on tires.
Good luck!

A lot of times the local places will match online places plus shipping, typically $6 a tire. They make money on mounting/balancing anyway, so its better to make $40 a job and gain a customer than get nothing.
Other places just wont do shit. Theyll say ok then go to tirerack. Ive had both experiences...just gotta go to the right place.

Their tires are very reasonably priced. They also have free shipping. I have had no problems with them at all. I have had problems with local places not having or being able to get the tires that I want as well as charging $30-$40 more per tire for the same tire I could get online.
