I bought my tires and rims from www.whalentire.com

They came mounted and balanced. I just took them out of their boxes and put them on the car.

Same here from www.tirerack.com mounted and balanced and they even threw in about 20 lug nuts.
I also bought my torque wrench from them.
Got great service each time.

Discount tire direct is the shit! They have free shipping all the time!

My dad got tires for his 2000 F-350 from there... they were here in like 3 days and cheap as hell!! No tax, no shipping... just the price of the tires.

I've used Tirerack several times but have had a problem they refused to correct... sent lug nuts w/tire & rim pkg that were wrong thread and my installer messed up two studs before realizing the problem. Tirerack didn't make good on the replacement studs. Also, had a Pirelli tire fail due to sidewall break... within first 1,000 miles and they would not send a replacement (sold me another at their cost). So, the service and products are OK, but you could still have problems. I'd use them again for winter tires because of the tire & rim packages - good prices.

I bought my Potenzas from tirerack and got them very quickly and brought them to my local acura dealership to have them mounted. They may charge alittle more (like 5 dollars more a tire to mount, balance, and dispose of old tires) but i like the service i get and they will fix any problems i have.

I bought my tires just 2 weeks ago from www.tires.com and they came in 2 days and I had NTB mount and balance them on my 18"s, I got free shipping and an extended warranty on my tires. No complaints and I saved at least $150 for 4 tires!

Most of my tires have been bought online with the exception of a roadtrip blowout that I replaced it with a Walmart Douglas H-rated tire.

I've only bought tires from tirerack.com and tires.com (Discount Tires). Discount Tires have free shipping right now but very few brands to choose from. Tirerack has more selections that are cheaper than Discount tires.
