Much better deals at tirebuyer.com. Plus shipping is FREE! Now how can Tire Rack beat that? Just sayin...

I'll always buy from Tire Rack when I can. They provide an EXTREMELY valuable service actually testing tires and providing objective information on how they ACTUALLY perform.
They also sponsor this forum.
Brief glance at prices shows Tire Rack to be slightly cheaper without shipping, slightly more with shipping.

Personally, I'm glad to pay a few bucks more for tires with shipping because they provide a a lot more than just TIRES.

I have had nothing but good experiences with TireBuyer and the research i did nwhen i bought tires for my Kia showed me they were cheaper than Tire Rack. Free shipping is golden on something like tires and i got mine the next day!

Well put. I have bought from them for years and they returned excellent CS to me. For example, I bought Sumitomo HTR Z III tires and couldn't stand them. I used them for about 500 miles and they took them back and paid for return shipping. I ended up buying Yoko AD08 and was a happy customer. How many online tire distributors would do that after using tires?

Personally I find the best way to do it is this. Go to your local discount tire, they will price match tirerack and order from them directly for you if they don't carry the tire. This includes free shipping, mounting and balancing, and warranty coverage if you happen to get a flat that's unpatchable. I've done this for my star specs in the past.

Tirerack all the way. CS service wise, Jim has been great and has kept me coming back because of his help with my S2k and GT-R. Not only that, but when looking for tires for the GT-R, I found that tirerack has a better tracking system on their tire inventory. When shopping around, called several places to see if a certain tire was in stock and they weren't, but on their site they were.
