Default Where to get the cheapest tires?

Im looking for some for the back of my C5, its just a daily driver I use to go to work so as long as they work in the rain and have tread, the cheapest i can find will work.
275/40/18 or bigger up to 315/30/18 whatever I can fit on a factory size 18" Z06 rim.
Just wondering where or who offers them the cheapest.
Thanks.

Probably tire rack. But with shipping costs you might want to check out local shops too.

ebay - theres always vendors selling 'gently' used take-offs for dirt cheap. I found a matching pair of 275/35 19s for $90 shipped

My car is just a daily driver as well but I still wouldn't get the cheapest tires you can find. I had a couple shitty tires on the front of my car and it was irritating as hell. LOUD, rode hard, and tramlined. Never again.

Although I certainly wouldn't buy outrageously expensive tires either.

yeah, those sumotomos are the "go to " 315.. the nitto 555dr seems to be the best bang for your buck, if you are looking for performance
