Tirerack.com
I ordered some tires tuesday night and they were waiting for me when I got home Thursday after work. I was surprised by how quickly they got to my door. Plus no tire place can beat their prices.

Re: Tirerack.com
They've got a depot in Delaware so it's not far to your place. Tirerack and discounttiredirect.com are both excellent to deal with.

Re: Tirerack.com
I've used them before and will probably keep using them for all my tires - they're great.

Re: Tirerack.com
I was browsing Tirerack recently and checked on prices of tires for my BBS rims. Dunlop Direzza Z1 would be about $180 each, shipped to my place in Canada. This includes duties, customs, etc. I really like that Tirerack includes customs fees in the purchase price, so I don't get a surprise from the UPS guy when they show up at my door.
For comparison, the same tires at the shop I work at have a base price of $370/tire. Gee, let's see...$720 for a set, or $1480 for the same thing. And my manager wonders why I won't buy rubber from him.

Re: Tirerack.com
They have some sweet deals on wheels too. I'd love to see what a set of MB Battles look like on a SVX.

Re: Tirerack.com
The depot is only about a mile from where I work.

Re: Tirerack.com
I just ordered a set of RE01R's from them. I don't care if I don't get many miles on them and that they are old stock...for $59 (clearance) each it's well worth it.

Re: Tirerack.com
Even after paying for mounting and balancing, you still beat your local tire shops. I bought several sets from both TireRack and discount tire. Even bought some wheels for my legacy.

Re: Tirerack.com
Ordered up a set of struts and sport springs for my new acquisition, the Legacy, and everything was fine, up until my shop went to install them - wrong parts!!!
Apparently. I called tirerack.com to ask for some kind of explanation, and while they said they're looking into it and have been very nice about it, that was 675$ US on stuff that might not work from a site that says it does. We checked, they checked, everyone double-checked the numbers. The parts, the box, and the listing all match, but something is wrong. I'll reserve final judgement until after I hear back from them again.
