When comparing prices, be sure to look at total, out-the-door, guts feathers & all... free shipping can cost more if the tire price is high. And there's sales tax (yes/no?) and mounting & balancing -- and rotations, unless you do it yourself.
I was at Walmart. I asked how much to mount and balance. He said $5 a wheel. I asked if he had the correct price. "Yes, that's what we charge" he said, and you don't have to buy their tires for that mount/balance price. So I feel like I'm getting a great deal buying them up the road at there Tiresplus.com walk in store. And I will tell them what Walmart charges for a mount/balance. If they do it for that much, great. If not, Walmart is on my way home.
