where to get my tire?

I need one falken ziex 512 for my stock 17's....anyways....I got my other one installed for 140.77 out the door including road hazard @ Just Tires and i can get the other one for 136.98 or so including road hazard...so should i just do that..or just buy somewhere online...and i think the cheapest price i saw online was $105.68 shipped without road hazard and without installation...installation will probably cost around 15-20 bucks, so let's just round up and say 125.68 installed, but without road hazard...and i would also have to wait a few days for the tire to arrive...

so basically..anyone know anywhere that sells falken ziex 235/45/17s for cheap shipped? cause regardless, I have to spend an extra 15-20 bucks for installation unless someone knows cheaper (I don't have costco) and i have to wait for the tire to come...unless i can go pick it up somewhere..I live in 91206 in California.

anyone have any good ideas on what exactly I should do? Thanks.

I would go to Discount Tire, they are really competitive with pricing and use a Hunter Road Force balancing machine

Why do you want to purchase just ONE Falken? Don't you have Turanzas on your car? I wouldn't mix and match tires on a single axle because difference of grip and character might be dangerous for you. If you just need one tire, I suggest you buy the same tire. Turanzas might not be the best value and performance tire, but it will be safer.

Unless you are replacing (or have replaced) all the tires of your car, I'd stick with whatever tire that came with the car originally. Refer to Tirerack's article:

cause I just replaced my other turanza (got a flat form pothole) and needed another falken to balance it out, cause it does feel extra weird..having 3 el42's and one falken 512......so i'll have two falkens in the front...

Discount Tire doesn't do alignment.

I don't think so... Maybe if you complain that the car has been pulling to the side or something since when you picked it up. But YMMV.

However, I know that Sears does alignment pretty inexpensively, $60 with 6 mo/6000 miles warranty.
