BJ'S if they are in stock - cheapest and the installation isn't bad.

Do you have to be a member of BJs?

They're right here in Middletown about a 1/2 mile from the house I'm working on.

My friend got his tires at TFT and told them to save the old tires because they had great tread left.
Needed a new size for the beach . when he got back they got rid of his tires and lost his spaire tire & rim..
He ended up having to pay and filed a judgement against them won in court settled for 1/2 the price.

I've been a www.tirerack.com guy for more then a few years now.

The trick is to have someone who can install them cheap. Otherwise the savings over buying locally isn't that noticeable.

Obviously if you show up at Town Fair Tire (for example) with 4 tires from tirerack.com they hose you for every single installation charge they can think of.

A local garage or a friend with a garage is the key.

I worked at a BJ's in VA installing tires about 5 or 6 years ago while in college and you did not have to be a member for service, but it was a discounted price if you were.
still cheaper than anywhere else around.

Like the other threads mention, they seem a little on the pricey side.
Got a better set of tires for a decent price at a Firestone dealeship.
Sold me a ten ply towing tire, they got about 50k miles on them at this point.

It was suggested to me to try Wal-Mart for tires a month ago. I got 4 tires, Continental installed for 400 bucks. Free mounting,balancing and stems. I paid 8 bucks for tire disposal. 408 dollars for 4 tires was the best price I could find on new 80,000 mile tires. All other places were 627.00- 700 (included alignment ). Service took some time but worth it for me.
