Default Getting new tires for my S4 in Santa Clara, CA area?

[Begin n00b Alert!]

Hey all... I'm up here in San Jose, and my S4 is up to 19k miles... Why only 19k?... because my commutes have never been that long for the last couple of years.

Nevertheless, my stock OEM RE040's are nearing that time when they need to be put out to pasture...

What is the best way for me to go about getting new tires up here? I've been looking at tirerack's website. Are there other options that I should pursue around here? Where should I go to get this done?

Here follows another dumb question... Can I get new tires through Steven's Creek Audi?... Given that this is an AWD, is an Audi Dealer the best place to go for new tires/alignment/etc? Is this something I should let them do anyway? Or will I get ripped a new one?

UPDATE: If I do go ahead and order tires from tirerack, here are the tires I am considering...
Bridgestone S-03's
Continental ContiSportContact2
Dunlop SP Sport 9090
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2

Should anything else be on this list? Where should I get these delivered up here? Steven's Creek Audi?

Thanks for your advice in advance. Putting on flame suit.

Default Ditto on Wheel Works, and they will match price + 19 bucks..

for any tire on Tire Racks web page. There is another on Windfield Road and Monterey Road in South San Jose.
Just had S0 3's installed about two months ago.

By the way I think they changed there name, cant remember.
