    Also, I love to negotiate prices on anything to do with a car.....
    I've purchased many many tires from TireRack over the past 20+ yrs, but in the last 5 yrs or so, I've found that most "local" places will match their prices or come real close. Print out the page with the tire/price from T.R., call around the local stores, Discount Tire, Big O, Goodyear, BFG, PepBoys, private tire shops...and ask if they'll match or come near T.R. price. Ask for the owner or manager to ask about pricing.

    Since you have to pay for mounting/balancing and sales tax (sometimes) somewhere once you receive the T.R. tires, you have to factor that amount in for an apples-to-apples comparison. Buying 4 gives you more negotiation power too.

    Yeah, the local places usually have to order the tires you want, but that's usually less than one week to get them.

    Another tidbit...T.R. will deliver your tires anywhere you want...so if I buy from them, I arrange ahead of time to have them delivered to my shop of choice..then I don't have to haul them. :-)
