Best place to buy new tires

Have an older model BMW that needs new tires. What is the best place to purchase new tires? Dealership or a tire shop such as Tire Kingdom or United Tires?

I distribute tires to tire shops. I would go with a reputable, independent shop. It's very hit/miss with tire chains. You can usually get the same deals at an independent shop and they will value your business a lot more than a chain or the dealership.
The general consensus is to steer clear of the dealerships after your warranty has expired.

Sams has good prices on tires. My experience with them was good.

I used to order from Tirerack and have it ship to an indy shop. However, I now use Discount Tire and have had good experiences with them.
Also, I've had to use Discount Tire's insurance a few times from nails or damage from pot holes. Never had an issue with getting a new replacement tire.
I have a couple friends who have had issues with Costco before. So I personally wouldn't use them.

I'm a huge fan of discount tire and their warranty.
I some how usually get a screw in my tire, too close to the side of the tire.
Discount tire will replace said tire, only cost to you is if tire price went up since you purchased. Even if the screw may have magically ended up there when the tire is 3 years old and has 50k miles on it.
I don't know if it is unethical or not, but I haven't paid full purchase price for tires in about 5 years.

I found a smoking deal on my tires at Amazon. They were about $60 cheaper per tire. I was able to purchase the tires, ship them to the tire shop, and schedule the work all through Amazon. You won't get the 70,000 mile warranty or whatever, but you'll save money on the purchase.

Mavis Tire has great prices and is a national chain.

I just purchased new tires for my vehicle. I checked Discount Tire, which is usually my go to. I also checked a local tire company. I chose Sam's Club, because road hazard was included with each tire, whereas DT and the local company was not.
I ended up saving nearly $300 by choosing Sam's Club. The downside? You have to be a member of Sam's Club, however, you may still save money by joining if you aren't a member today.
