Have any of you purchased from TireRack.com?

I want to get 4 new tires for my vehicle and the local shops close to my house have pretty shitty inventory. TireRack.com seems to have some pretty good tires (based on Consumer Reports rankings) for good prices. Supposedly they'll ship direct to one of the local shops who will then charge their nominal fees to install the tires.
I'm just wondering if any of you have used TireRack.com in this manner and if it's as seamless as they make it out to be on their website. TIA.

Never used tirerack but I just purchased my last set of tires from tirebuyer.com. Pretty painless process. Ship tires for free to installer that you pick on their website.

The place I got my last set of tires was cheaper, so I forewent going through an internet purchase.

Discount tire direct because they have great prices AND free shipping.

Used tire rack a few times. If you have a good installer, it's the way to go IMO.

My town (Shreveport) has a tirerack warehouse. I buy tires on their site and select that I'm picking them up myself. With my last set of tires I saved a ton of money. Just depends on the tire though - there is a TON of wiggle room on tires. I've done well by just making up a fake price and asking a store to beat it.

Yep couple times actually with zero issues. I had them shipped to my office and from there I dropped them off with my Jeep to have the tires swapped out. Charged me $100 if I remember correctly to discard old and mounted/balanced new tires.
ETA, maybe it was Discount Tire Direct after thinking about it.

Used them for shocks, not tires. But, their customer service and prices appear legit.

No, used Amazon last time though.

I've done the tirerack purchase and it went as expected. Local Pepboys installed mine. I used Amazon twice as well. I found a great deal on only two tires that I needed on the rear end of a 370Z. Same good experience at the local Pep Boys.

Anyone ordered Toyos from any of the online sites? TireRack doesn't have my size and the others mentioned on this thread so far don't carry them.

We ordered a set for my wife's old car and had them shipped to Firestone on Siegen. TireRack actually negotiates pricing for mounting and balancing, so be sure to verify that before picking a shop. I believe Firestone on Siegen actually came down off of the negotiated price when we called. It was absolutely the way to go. Saved us probably $500. Got quality tires for less than the locals were selling the bargain trash.

My tire guy told me he has no problem putting on tires bought online. He charges $20 a tire to mount balance and install. I'll go with that next time if I can free shipping and no tax.
