Default Best Price on Tires?

Im looking to get 4 new tires. I'm looking at the Firestone Firehawk SZ50s 275/40ZR17. The best price I have found so far is $775 for all four shipped to my door. Is ther a deal going on anywhere that can beat this price with the same tire(or one of equal or greater performance)?

I need to pick them up tomorrow at the latest. let me know.

Thanks,
Mike B.

Have you tried clicking on our Tire Rack logo to the right? They have excellent customer service and prompt shipping.

Firestone SZ50 275/40/17 are listed for $186 each.

Ironically Tire Rack has 285/40ZR17s at $185 a piece. Would the extra sidewall hurt me?

p.s. Does Tire rack know when I use one of your links?

When you click on that Tire Rack banner to the right, it is a special internal link and anything you purchase during that visit to the site is referenced to LS1Tech.com.

So, support our sponsor <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh yeah, 285/40s look kinda tall on an F-body. I still like 275/40s all around, so they can be rotated also.

Thanks for the link LS1tech. How do you guys determine which shop to get them mounted at? My Hawk rims are tricky and I don't want them getting damaged. Any advice?

Mike
