Discount Tire Direct
Just got my tires from Discounttiredirect.com and i was very impressed with the service. When i called intially, i spoke with a guy named Craig. He was very nice and we spoke about alot of stuff not really related to tires, but to my car. when i told him i was on a tight budget, he even offered to give me a discount on the optional tire warranty thing u can purchase (I still opted out of it because i dont think i really need it). I ordered the tires last wednesday, and they got here today (Monday). My only complain being that when i got them they werent in a bag (they were just tied together).
I noticed that discount tire direct doesnt carry nearly as many brands of tires that Tirerack does, and that DTD's prices are slightly higher than tireracks...but it evens out because DTD offered 100% free shipping, whereas you have to pay like 35-40$ for it on tirerack and that really makes a difference. So basically i got my tires cheaper from DTD than i would have from Tirerack.
The tires i purchased were BFG g-force KDWS's 245/50/zr16's. Also, the valve stems that can be ordered with the tires (for $3 per stem) are of very very high quality (they appear to be stainless steel).
I would definately recommend Discount Tire Direct to anyone here.

I was just looking at some Hot Wheels at that site. Actually, I am right now. Good to know they're a legit company. But the question remains...What are you driving around in these days?

Are they for real on this!?!?

I have ordered tires from both Discount tire & Tire rack.. both better places to deal with than any local tire shop... and even with shipping (and tax, tire rack... I'm an Indiana resident).. sadly, still much cheaper.
I would recommend either.

ya I bought my Boyds rims from them, they're very accommodating. thumbs up from me.
I too looked at tirerack and DTD turned out to be cheaper in the end because of free shipping.
