I can't say enough good about them! My local store even ordered a brand they don't normally carry (Motegi FF7s) and will mount & balance them for me at a very nice discount.

^^ Yeah, they're a great place.
I get email coupons for free rotations too.
Fast, clean and good work at the shops.

I just ordered from Tire Rack. Solid ordering process, good checks & balances system, great customer service, etc. Highly recommended!

Discount Tire I've dealt with in-person when I used to live in Arizona... same experience. Friendly people, knowledgeable, etc. Also highly recommended, especially if you live near one (which I do not now).

Go to your local discount tire. Their prices are good and they will even go down on them if you ask. I got 18s with Yokohama yk520 and the 60k mile warranty for $1300 out the door.

Just to add another option: edgeracing.com

I haven't used ER but know more than a few who have and they spoke highly of fast delivery and personal service. They carry a couple of brands that are different than TR and DTD, allowing for more options. I'm considering the Falken Hanabis in 18 for my xB. (I'm still 6 months from buying though.)

On more thing, if you have Discount Tire stores in your area, DTD will charge you state sales tax when buying online but they're still cheaper than the retail store. And, one good thing, they offer insurance for the tires. I bought the insurance for a set of Pirelli Neros, and have had 2 tire fail. DT replaced them for the cost of renewing the insurance. Essentially, the insurance is less than the cost of one replacement tire. Well worth it, IMO.

They did not charge me sales tax on my wheels since they ordered from out of state. Tax did apply to their lug nuts and mounting services. Also, they offer free tire rotation and repair to anyone who drives in, regardless if you are a previous customer!
