Default Tires

I'm running pretty bald and would like to get the best deal I can on new shoes for my baby. I've got Z06 wheels and probably want to go with Goodyear Supercars: Front: P265/40ZR17 Rear: P295/35ZR18

I've never bought tires online. Is this really the least expensive way to go? If so, what's the best site?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Check out Tire Rack. They are a supporting vendor. I ordered my current tires through them and the delivered price could not be touched by any local tire dealer. They will ship direct to whoever you want to have mount the tires.

Tire Rack offers some good prices. You might want to get a quote from them and then see if any local shop can match - sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Just be sure to include all costs for comparison purposes - like taxes for local purchase and shipping/mounting etc for on line purchase.
