Like the title says, just curious where you are buying your tires from. I believe I am going to get 315/35/17. Probably Nitto's.

Discount tire direct has the best prices I've found on any tires. I have my own tire machines though, so if you have to pay $100 to mount and balance a set it might not save you much over a tire store.

Online tires usually has cheaper or the same price tires as discount tire direct, I always use summit to price match them though so I can deal directly with summits awesome customer service rather than some other shitty company for cheap tires. Discount tire hires a bunch of unexperienced teenagers in their shops though so every time I've been there I've had a problem. Scratching a brand new set of wheels, ripping the bead on brand new tires, and breaking wheel studs or lug nuts on several occasions. I finally stopped using them unless I'd have to in an emergency.

Discount tire more so than Belle Tire. I've been wanting to order from Tire Rack but all I've used from them were the reviews. I like to buy and have my hands on the item(s) being purchased at the moment I pay.

I order my bike tires online. Forum discounts.

And my truck tires i bought at costco. They had a pretty good sale going on that week and took advantage of it.

As for the car, im probably going to get them from ws6store if i buy new wheels to go with them.

I usually price the tires on-line with TireRack or Discount Tire and then go to my trusted local tire shop (they handle the rims with ultra care) for them to match the price or get real close. They usually match or come within $10 for each tire. Add on $20 per tire for installation, balancing, etc... and I'm all set to go with the tires I want and with the proper people 'touching' the car. Also the $$ stays locally which makes it a win-win for everyone.
