Good place to buy Hoosiers
First I want to thank Bowmanized for quoting some amazing pricing on Hoosier tires. Unfortunately, shipping anything of that size and weight to the east coast from the west is going to be expensive, but they really came in with some amazing pricing on the tires themselves. You west coast guys have a great vendor to work with!!
For the east coast folks, I found a vendor outside Chicago that sells Hoosiers VERY cheap (new that is) and ships free (at least to NJ). I can tell you that it was a large enough difference from Tire Rack or even Hoosier direct. I saved something like $200 over tire rack AND got free shipping via Fed-ex ground 3 day. The best thing was the guy was willing to negotiate a deal. So, in the spirit of this great forum, I just wanted to share my findings.

Not that much different, but free shipping counts for something:
A6s:
295/35/17 $296 vs. $299
315/30/18 $329 vs. $331
So we save $10 on the tires and $50 on the shipping. Every bit helps.

BTW, they also have good ethics. One of the 4 tires I bought from them was ruined by Fed-ex during shipping (neither their or my fault) and I called and before I could even send the old one back, they had a new one at my door.
Reputable folks to deal with. I also beleive they will be at the Katech track day providing tires as well.

I just ordered several sets of Hoosiers from these guys and everything went well. The tire price is a few bucks cheaper than TireRack and there is no shipping charge. Lee was good to work with and the tires were delivered pretty quickly.
