Hello Levi, I really like Tire Rack but I find that in West Virginia that shipping to my local indy eats up the cost saving and that the similar tire from Wal-Mart is cheaper counting 6% sales tax. The last couple of sets I ordered from Tire Rack were well over comparable tires at Wal-Mart. The big difference for me is selections since I can get any tire that I want from Tire Rack and only a few from anywhere else.

But personally, I buy what I can look on tirerack and see good reviews for both from tirerack and other customers, and then take it to Wal-mart or whereever to have it mounted and balanced. And every time I've checked so far, it's still been cheaper than just getting whatever no-name brand crap tire that Wal-mart had and having them mount and balance it... Personally, I haven't looked up the exact specs, but for the size that was previously listed where Michelin's were got at Wal-mart for $165, I would have just paid $85 for Kumho's from Tirerack and had Wally world mount them. I've had great luck with the Kumho's I've gotten so far... (I don't know what model the michelin's were, but tirerack did have a michelin in that size that was $160...) Levi
