I price match locally............but, sometimes I buy from E-bay/Tire rack and on the CF through vendors/members.
The key as already said above is to get a GOOD local tire installer/shop.
Try to stick with 1 and build a relationship with them
My guy could dismount OEM RFs from an OEM mag wheel w/o chipping/maring the paint.....................thats dam good!
