Default STS?!?!

yea P, you'll save a boat load if you order from edgeracing.com and mount them at Merchant.

I plan on ordering from ER soon.

Default Sears has the Kumhos that I am looking at for $9 more per tire than tirerack

Shipping came out to $31 for 4 (I am not going to replace the spare, even tough it has a little bubble, because I won't have the car too much longer), so it's still cheaper to order from tirerack than buy from Sears.

The difference is in the charges to mount and balance. If I buy them from Sears, it comes to a total of $363 (plus tax) and if I buy them at tirerack and mount at Sears, which is the cheapest option i've found, the total is $398.48.

Sears has a 10% price match and does honor online deals, as long as the total with shipping is lower than their cost. That may be an option. I will have to go there and check it out.

Default Radial Tire in Silver Spring....

As an example, my sumitomo HTR+ were $89 from tirerack, radial told me they could get them to me for $98...so not too much more money when you factor in shipping, wait time, etc.

Default The retail prices and sales tax will more than eat away at the shipping costs...

Tire Rack charges about $30 shipping for 4 tires.

Default But what about mounting/balancing?

Or should she just buy wheels too to avoid those fees

Default What Kuhmos are you looking for? MX for summer, ASX for All-Season...

all the rest are crap in my opinion.
