I spent probably several weeks researching this when I needed new tires.
Ended up buying from tire buyer.com and had them shipped to Plantation Tire Pros on Drusilla. Everything went smoothly and as others have mentioned, the site gives you preferred installers as well as cost for mounting etc. and I saved about $300,

These sites save you $$$ because you don’t need the tires today.
Good luck

The days of tirerack being a great deal are over. Mainly, you now have to pay sales tax. The last set I bought online the local installer said he would have beat their price anyway. The most recent set I bought was from Costco. Great deal on Michelins and $20 tire cheaper than tirerack, plus an instant rebate. Set my appointment time online. Went inside to shop and they were done before we checked out. Win.

I ordered new tires for the wife car. ( no pics ) Amazon had the best price over the ones listed. Tirerack.com was closest by 2 bucks a tire. Guess i got lucky this time.

Costco also installs them and gives free rotations for a bit.

Really no reason to not buy them from Costco.

You're not the only one. I did think that "mounting" was a weird way to spell "plant".
