If you need to pick them up that quick then your only option is to find a place that has them in stock.

I have noticed that a lot of places don't have a tendency to keep a large stock on hand. They can usually get tires in a day or two though

I always buy my tires from America's Tire. That is where I get the best deals and they have a great warrenty and do good work. I hate Big-O, they suck.

i'm sold to america's tire co.

they have lot of shops so they can usually get tires the next day if they dont' have it. especially the 16"

they do free flat repair, if it's repairable.

and they match prices

pep boys sells the hankook line, IIRC...

one nice thing about them is that there is a PB almost everywhere.

buy the warranty plan and it could save your butt (middle of the desert by barstow and you puncture a tire on a sunday afternoon type situation...).

Most places charge up the @$$ if you don't buy tires from them to give you a bit of incentive to buy it from their store. I think at America's Tire Co, they charge 34$/wheel for 17s to mount and balance ($1/ inch on both mounting and balancing IIRC). So, in the end you're losing a LOT of money and not saving any by buying it from Tirerack. Instead bring the ad to America's Tire Co. and they'll give you that price and not charge for mounting.

yea they do. For the tire itself, meaning, you pay extra for the valve stem and the other little small. forgot what else. But i think free mounting and balancing. I could be wrong on that one, but if it's not free, i'm sure it's cheaper than their 1/inch rate they charge when u bring them tires.
