Default Tire dealer recommendations

I know everyone loves TireRack, but they don't offer a protection plan unless you buy all 4 tires from them in one shot. I already have a set for the front, and want to get F1's for the rear. I absolutely have to have a protection plan because every nail and screw in Virginia is out looking for me right now. I could pay 300/tire from TireRack and get a flat in 31 days and be screwed, or I could pay 400/tire from Tire Kingdom and not have enough money to live on

Do you have Discount Tire in your area? I bought my Michelin Pilot Sports there, and they offer tire protection certificates for an additional fee. Usually about 10% of the tire's price.

Think I've found a solution. Just Tires in Fairfax has them for $311 and they'll add road hazard protection for just 1 tire if you want. Here's the link...

The Pilot sports are more expensive. How do they match up with the F1's? A friend was telling me about getting BFGoodrich T/A KD's. Can't seem to track down this tire.
