I just love customer service at Discount Tire. Prob no stores there, but they do have mail order like Tire Rack. Both companies will match prices, and will locate a tire shop to install them for you.

Discount Tire put mine on. You hear a lot of stories. These guys were fantastic. Took excellent care of my car, allowed me to stand just inches from them, car was lifted with no issues, wheels did not have a scratch on any of them, sensors worked fine and the tires were best price in town.

The Avons I'm running on my A4 coupe are a Tire Rack "exclusive." The local America's Tire Store (People's Republic of Kalifornia name for Discount Tire Store) ordered them in and sold them to me for less than the shipped cost from Tire Rack. From what I can tell, they're both great vendors, but the local guys just went way above and beyond. That's why they got to put the Pirellis on my wife's car, and will get to put Avon AWD tires on my Jimmy.

Oh, and Avon is owned by Cooper, so my tires came from the exotic land of Ohio...

I'm on my second set of Nitto's. I manage 30,000 miles out of them, and have no complaints. America's Discont Tires (Kalifornia) They run about $700 out the door. They've been kind to my magnesium rims!

I'm sure the cheapest will be from China... Nanking...
or perhaps India....Tata

But i suspect you meant to add that fit and are safe....
