you can get a pretty good set for that $$. Check out discount tire direct also. I love tire rack and all, but hate the fact that they charge for shipping. I understand it's a big shipment but if DTD can ship for free, I'm sure tire rack can also.

^^^ you're right on tire rack charging shipping but if you actually calculate it, it's cheaper than discount tire in the end. The reason for this is because discount tire raises the actual price of the tire and then includes free shipping. Most of the time the two companies are pretty much even in price, however, tire rack has much better choices in tires and sometimes are cheaper even with shipping

If you want a good summer tire, the hankook Ventus v12 is priced really good and performs great. Just a heads up.

I have a set of front tires from my s2000 that I no longer need since I have sold the car. They are Kumho Ecsta all seasons I believe. I can check when I get back home if you're interested. They have plenty of tread left. I'd be willing to let them go for 80 dollars for the pair.

All Weather in Huntington has close to Tire Rack prices. Just call up and get a quote and compare prices. They are fair and save you the small hassle of shipping.

I just got my Conti DWS from them.

I see what you're saying and yes, tire rack absolutely has a better selection, but when comparing the same exact tire, the total order always seems comes out lower from discount tire for me. But, I'll definitely take your word for it. It's such a simple way to shop for tires. Add all 4 (or 2) to your shopping cart, see what price is lower with everything factored in, and buy from that vendor. It's great stuff.
