Tire Buying

I recently had to purchase tires for my Dodge Ram's 20 inch rims (oh yes, I have been rolling on dubs since March 2003 - as a side note, Kyle once asked Susan, who at that time was my new girlfriend, how she liked "rollin on dubs?". Susan, believing that Kyle was referring to her recent 20th birthday, answered that she enjoyed rolling on dubs, and that was that.)

So, back to tires - unless you know someone at a tire store, here's my favorite way to buy tires: First, go to TireRack.com and using your tire size (printed on the side of your tire), do a quick search and find out the lowest and highest tire prices. Next, go to Discounttire.com and do the same. For the most part, TireRack will be cheaper, so take note of their cheapest tire for your car and head into your local tire store with that price as your target. Buying tires is almost like buying a new car - the price they quote you is full of profit margin, and can usually be cut by 10%-30%. Having the online prices in hand helps you break into negotiations and get the best price.....my 2cents.
