I shopped several places online, in the br area. Tire Kingdom had the best prices on good tires. Not off brand name stuff.

Try Sam's or Costco when they open.

Called about 8-10 places the other day looking for a good price on a pretty common tire. All were within $50-60. Treads and Care came out the cheapest.

Doubt this holds true, but my rec would be to get the size and style tire you currently have, call around and get a replacement price "out the door"

Doesn't hurt to ask for one or two more tire options, but honestly they are hard to compare unless you are doing apples to apples.

Takes about 3-5 minutes per call, less than an hour total.

Allied Tires? I don't know about them. They quoted me a price on one set of tires one time but when I got there they told me they were out of it. Maybe it was an honest mistake but maybe it was the bait and switch game. I haven't been back.

I just ordered 5 tires from Discount Tires Direct.

Unlike Tirerack.com they don't charge shipping. Tirerack ships from Shreveport so you'll also have to pay sales tax.

Another vote for Gonzales Tire. I've done business with them for 30 years.

Call around. The price of tires changes with the wind so what someone may be cheap on one week they can be high as hell the next.
