That's strange, I don't believe for one minute that Tire Rack could
possibly
sell them to you for less than your local store can buy them.... that's
nuts...
if it WERE true, your local tire store would be ordering from Tire Rack.

My experience (although with inexpensive tires) is that my local store can
come close enough to the net price of
ordering/shipping/installing/balancing
via Tire Rack that it's hardly worth the wait.
