need tires..how are online stores?
browsed 'tirerack.com' and some of the tires look pretty good - i'm looking for something around $100 - $110 because i'm cheap (actually, i have little money and will go on credit cards
) my tires are just about out.
how are these online places? prices seem very reasonable. i don't buy tires often, but how are tire shops... are they reasonable since they do the balancing and installs?
if i buy online, how much do tire shops charge to put them on? i'm in socal.

get a price from tirerack, go to NTB. NTB will match tirerack's prices. Tirerack has good prices on the tire, but you gotta pay shipping too.

I have used Tirerack on 2 different occasions, ordering 4 tires each time. Both times it was a painless process, got my tires within 2 days after ordering. Shipping was $16 for 4 tires. I don't know how they can ship tires so cheap and make any money. If you go to Tire Racks web site you can check on affiliated installers in your zip code. Installation and balancing of new tires plus disposal of old tires cost $30.00 total for all 4. The last installer I went to was outstanding, hand torqued wheels and put anti seizure compound on all lug nuts. First time I ever tipped a tire installer. Since have sent this guy a lot of business. You can also drop ship to installer so you don't have to lug tires around.

Wow, they hooked you up. They charged me over $50 to ship 4 rims/tires. Or maybe you mean $12 each.

I am only a couple hours away from their distribution center in Indiana. I almost drove up their and picked them up.
I'll look at my invoice again, but I know it was less than 20$
