Try Discount Tire or the Tire Rack. Discount Tire was the cheapest in my area for the Nitos and Michelin PS. I went with the Michelins since Nitos are not run flats that my dealer installed at Discount Tire's price of $2215. I really like them.

Probably check the Tire Rack, Discount Tire, and Tread Depot. Most of these places will drop ship tires to your local installer. Truth is, most local places, get oddball sized tires, from the mentioned places anyway. This is a fiercely competitive business, with not much profit to be made. While doubtfully on specialty sizes mentioned here, sometimes not much more, replacing the whole set on sale, than specially ordering, a single blow out replacement.

The garage I have been going to for 20+ years will match or better any tire prices for my ZO6. I trust these guys with my ZO6. Most of the mechanics have been there for years, build their own engines and race cars.
Like the others have said, this is a very competitive business. I'm guessing you could get a good deal on a set of four from almost anyone you contact.
I'd check the places mentioned here then see how much your installer will charge to put them on. Or if a local dealer will match price.
Regardless, go to a "Corvette Owner recommended"*** tire place for the work
***Contact the local owner's club.

If you are wanting a good price forget the Invo's.
I want cheap tires for the street b/c I don't drive hard on the street.
I drive hard on the track.
Check TireRack out for some Generals for about $800/set
If you need the Invo's...does it really matter saving a couple bucks here or there?

Discount tire matches anyone's price, effectively they will meet/beat anyone else. So if you do your homework there is only one place you really need to go. I searched all over the internet and found one place that was cheaper, DT matched the prices and I bought them at a local store. I also bought the certificates so I had peace of mind that I could get my tires fixed or replaced since they are not runflats anymore. I bought a complete set of Nitto NT-05's for $1600 installed out the door with cert's, didn't think that was too bad of a price and I love these tires, quiet and tons of grip!!!!
