They have good prices, but I think all they carry is Nitto's if you're looking for a drag radial.

discount tire prices incorporate the mounting and balance charge, so in reality your gonna spend that much, unless you know some friends who that can mount and balance for you

I ordered DR's from chris at discount tires. He sent me the wrong stuff after I did EVERYTHING to insure he knew what I wanted. I even made a post that he replied to and he still sent me the wrong wheels. I didnt sent them back because it was to much of a hassle and I would have to pay shipping. I cant even get ahold of him now,.
