Just a note of caution. Friend of mine was going to save big bucks ordering his tires and wheels on line... When he got them mounted and balanced in a local store, the bill was a bit over $100.00.... Kind of killed the savings over buying them from a local store. Check with some of the independent stores, a good manager will make you a deal... I've used the same guy for tires for years, all I do is call him and tell him my sizes and he tells me when they'll be in. If I want to try a set and check out the look and fit, never a charge for doing so!!!!
Buying tires elsewhere and expecting a local guy to mount and balance them is a lot like taking your own steak to a restaurant and have them throw it on the grille.... Don't expect to save a lot of $$$$$. I've bought tires on line, but when I do I always get a tire and wheel package mounted and balanced...Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
