honestly... just go to Tire Rack...

you have two choices. a) get them shipped to a recommended installer. shipping is from NV and takes a day or two if they're in stock. or b) have whatever place you want to go to price match tire rack.

they may not carry your particular falkens, but they're already freaking cheap on the rack compared to going to most places. lots of selection.

What kind of driving are you planning on doing on the tires? What kind of budget are you looking at?

If you go for rt 615, american tire will price match vulcantire.com, which was the cheapest retailer for me (for 255/40/17). I got a set of 4 for like 580 or something out the door.

I just went to AI in Milpitas and got a great hookup on some Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs. They matched the Tire Rack special within a few bucks. I also had them mounted and balanced. They did an awesome job and were super fast at doing all that and a sweet allignment.

The tires are great. I went through the stockers (Potenza RE070) and then two sets of RT 615s like yours. The road noise on the Dunlops are a lot better. I haven't really gotten into them yet, but from what I read here:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....t+Z1+Star+Spec

They're pretty good.
