ditto, also try Town Fair Tire if you have one in your area. They price match online places!

be wary of them. Yes, they do price match....but then they BS you into why they can not price match certain prices...

"Oh....that price does not include shipping"

"It does not include installation".

In my experience Costco and Discount Tire are the best value in local tire places (as opposed to the mail-order Tire Rack).

The one in Nashua, NH has pricematched Tire Rack's prices twice for me with no hassling. Mostly depends on the store and the salesperson.

Sears PMs everything, you can find a website like scamtirestore.com and as long as you have a print out of the webpage they will PM it + shipping costs.

So far i've just found the lowest prices possible and have had them PM everything, its usually been cheaper than if I ordered them from tirerack.

Can't go wrong with Discount Tire, in my opinion.

Decent prices and never any hassle with free work after the sale (puncture repair, free replacement, rotations, tread warranty, etc.)

Just went to America/Discount Tires and got this one for a total of 581.

Kinda scared now though reading some of the things people are posting online about them about the sidewalls blowing out? It comes with a 45k warranty.. I guess... Should i be worried?

My old cobalt had those stock, they were a solid Meh. I know they had a sidewall bubbling problem in some models but it never happened to me. TBH I don't think they are worth 581 for a set of four.

Next step down that they had today was some Hankooks for not much cheaper. So i just went for the Ps. I mean they are a day/night diff between some old econ tires that my dad had on my car.

Usually I'll go to Discount Tire and PM with Tirerack if I'm in a hurry and they have the sizes in stock, otherwise I'll use Tirerack and ship them to a local shop that'll mount/balance for $50. Tirerack ships pretty much next-day since their warehouse in NV is close.

I dislike using Costco cause way back when they wouldn't let me buy a different size than OEM.. Not sure if they still do that though.

They do, tires they sell must be OEM size and speed rating.
