Discount Tires - Discounttires.com has the lowest prices on tires and wheels, all name brands, and a huge inventory. In most cases, shipping is one to two days graranteed.

+1 for discount tire direct, free shipping, always been the cheapest in my experience and even if they're not they'll price match. typically 5-10% cheaper than tirerack. Wheel selection is of lower quality than tirerack for sure though

any good place locally?

With the current exchange rate I'm surprised people still buy tires locally.

If you must, I have bought from sora't before and they are pretty good, they have gotten really busy/popular in recent years though. PM them in the vendor's section on RS for a quote. The reason I recommend them is that unlike many of the tire retailers in town/on RS they stock a lot of different tires and include installation. Just make sure you book an appointment/call ahead of time.

you're doing it wrong....

have them shipped to a shipping handling place near the border in Washington... drive down and pick them up. Check out Tsb Shipping Plus

I had good expierence with Sorat and bad, all in the same transaction. They were very quick and let me store 3 of my wheels there while i had to return the 4th (wrong color). But i also had very poor communication from them.

+1 for discounttiredirect. Ordered tires, went there in the morning to get them mounted, had breakfast in a mcd nearby, then pick the car back up. Very easy.
