I've always had great luck with the TireRack and I've gotten many sets of tires there over the past 10+ years. Shipping is always ultra quick and the price usually among the cheapest. Keep an eye out for the clearance deals they have once in awhile. A few years back Firestone SZ50s were getting phased out and TireRack had 285/40/17s for 88$ apiece. It ended up being about $375 shipped to my door. I still kick myself for only buying one set.

I'll jump on the TireRack bandwagon. I ordered on Tuesday afternoon for delivery to a local installer(Goodrich) Tires delivered Friday AM, mounted that afternoon and delivered to my house. Couldn't ask for more.

I just ordered two more Sumitomos tonight for my 87. Can't beat the price $74.00 each. I already have a pair on the front. Now I will have new shoes all around.

I've ordered several sets of tires over the years (for different cars). Fast shipping, good prices, no problems with their tires. This has always proven to be the best price (even after paying for local mounted/balancing, etc...)

I never buy insurance or anything else so I can't speak for their added services -- though I think their feedback/rating service is worth a look!

Thanks for the replies, very helpful

Since I went a head and purchased a set from a local shop, I'll see if I like the sumitomo's... and IF they somehow magically get used up ... I'll buy them from tirerack next time, Now to get a credit card....

Thanks again
