I like to shop local when I can, though. Some local stores will price match, so if you take them your best deal (including shipping etc so you compare total out-the-door costs), you just might get the same price locally and help keep your neighbors employed.
Yea, I like to be a local supporter of the economy.
After I made this post I found a local dealer that has the same price as TireRack. They're a penny cheaper per tire with no shipping, just local tax. That still puts me way ahead on the price as compared to TireRack. Here is a link for those of use that are shopping for tires. Maybe you will be lucky enough to have them near you. http://www.tiresplus.com
Thanks for the replies.
