Discount Tire. They'll match TireRack price. They tighten lugs to spec with a torque stick.

Default I *wanted* to go with them, but they were $80>TireRack, even with shipping and mounting=same tire
I told them I was buying on-line, can you do better?
They basically told me to F-off.

Gee, me too.

Default I prefer Tire Rack. Generally good prices, & source of info, plus they sponsor AW and autoX's.
Remember to look over on the AW wheel and tire forum...tons of good info.

I still wish TR would sell Nokian snow tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
