I think tirerack is a superior site for tires, had the cheapest prices for goodyear eagle f1 a/s, I ordered them about 10am Monday, and recieved them the NEXT day, at my work.. which would have been a problem shipping to had it not been a ups store, but the guy called me, then the store to verify and everything was worked out. Id definitely check there.
