Default Any sources for R7's cheaper than tire rack?

I know you can sometimes get them from Phoenix or used racing tire sites, just wondering if there are any sources for new ones cheaper than tire rack?

Thanks - they are about $7 less per tire (mostly due to their shipping and heat cycling being cheaper)

Different Hoosier distributors offer free shipping at different times. I've bought from Smiley's in Texas before (no tax, free ship)

You won't find much of a discount on Hoosiers.. They make sure that nobody discounts or you don't get to sell them. They want to keep their tires profitable for their resellers and for themselves and while they were small they were able to do to that effectively.

Now that they are part of a big company that could eventually crack, but their business model was based on thick profits and they made them by keeping everyone in line a far a prices go.
