but then there is the factor that you have to wait for them to get there, that is my point.

I did my research on tires. I know what i got i knwo what price i was looking for. I was willing to accept $10 more for them to be installed locally so i didn't have to wait, but as soon as they gave me that price quote i didn't have to anymore. I got the cheaper. Tire Rack is a rip off, they give you a list of their installers that charge you out the ***. If you'd read up on their reviews, well then, you might know a couple more things.

Before i do business online i always check up their customer reviews.

I always check up reviews on what i'm getting also.

I'm not as dumb as everyone sees me as.

Here we go again . Anyway, I got two BFG 275/40/17's, slightly used, off another board for $125 including shipping and I'm going to be getting two Kumho 285/40/17's off tirerack for $270 with shipping. Then I'll bring them to the shop my brother works at and he'll mount them and balance them for me AND do an alignment. How's that? Under $400 for a 17" tire package mounted and balanced, BEAT THAT !!!

Well, if I had bought new front tires from tirerack I would still be paying under $500 for everything.

Let's look back in time and see who brought up tires.

yeah but i think those zenettis have spacers to make them the right offset, i would never run like that . I just dont feel safe riding around liek that no matter how many people swear by that , and plus they look crappy when you get up close and see the spacers. How do you know those boyd rims arent fakes, did u check out boyds website and see that they have been having problems with people making fakes and then using a boyd sticker. I feel fine with the money i spent. Ill have the rims as long as i have the car "which shold be as long as i live" but i know that they are from a reputable dealer, who boyd reccomends.
