No money in tires. Mark up on them is only 5 or 10 bucks. Tire rack is still cheaper than all the tire shops that i have seen.

And they can get them to you quicker than a lot of the tire shops can if the shop doesn't have them in stock. Ordered 2 tires from tirerack 10pm Sunday evening. They shipped out Monday morning, were on my doorstep Tuesday afternoon. The tire shops (not like they could compete in price) all were saying that if we bought them on Saturday they could have them by Wednesday probably but they'd have to check on Monday to be sure about that.

I'll take Tirerack anyday...

hey i was born and raise in pittsburgh, till my dad decided to move to florida when i was in 7th grade. Other than banging my mom on the night i was concieved it was the best move he ever made, pittsburgh is dirty and cold and I love central florida, Ill probably spend the rest of my life here.

Other than lung cancer, my steelers allegiance is the only thing i have from pittsburgh.

Tire Rack doesn't offer any discounts, since their prices are already cheaper than just about everyone else. They also have very quick delivery times, as noted above.

Actually, Tirerack does have a wholesale deal. And there is more money in tires than most people think. I call them at least twice a week to order tires for the dealer I work for.
