The best prices I have found online are www.tirerack.com and http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.do. There is also a place called tread depot that some memebers have said good things about, but last time I checked prices on BFG they were way too high.

Online Tires

Just bought my Toyo Open Country ATs at Online Tire:

http://www.onlinetires.com/

Saved myself $400 from the quote I got from a local Toyo dealer.

Ouch, that seems a bit high, but it looks like they have a single warehouse in CA, so depending on were you live you could come out a lot better.

Regardless thanks for the site info, I will keep them in mind down the road when its time for some new tires.

Have you tried you local tire shops? Mine were actually cheaper than some of the bigger tire chains in the area. I ended up getting mine from the smallest shop in town.

I always buy my tires from local shops. I am picky though. I want to double check the tires for flaws and the build date. If they are more than a couple mos old I pass on them. Just me though. Pricewise many retailers will match others too and it is a lot easier to exchange them at a store than at a website.

x2, There is local shop I take all my business to. Once bought a set of BFG KM1 (285/70/17) and walked out the door with mount and balancing + taxes for $803, no other stores locally or online could touch that price.

Yeah it may seem you're getting a good deal online. Until you take them someplace to have them mounted and balanced. Which is usually in the price of the tire if you buy them local.
