Default What is the best local place to buy tires *edit*

I have looked on tirerack.com, but would like to buy them locally if possible so as to avoid shipping costs. Also, I need instant gratification, so buying things online just isn't fun.


BTW, I am looking for 4 all season tires, 215/55/16, H-rated

Depends what brands... Costco usually has nice deals and mounting is included I think.

Default How about 18s? I'm gonna need 225/40/18 or (preferably) 245/35/18 for wheels I just bought

Any place local that had good deals on low profile tires, or should I just go with tirerack?

Default to get good rubber cheap i believe the only way to go is online.

all shops will have to order good rubber anyways b/c rarely do they have the stuff in stock.

Default Instant gratification is going to cost money.

I bought a set for the Honda from STS. Checked the price on edgeracing after I got home. Let's just say the money I threw out the window would have paid for a night at CP...for me, you AND Ed.

Default in that case, I would just go with Tire Rack... Costco has a very limited (!) selection of 18s.

Infact its not good at all. Merchant's is another local place but I'd be careful the way they mount the tires. I've had some work done at the local Costco, no problems there.
