Where to buy Falken ST115?

www.discounttire.com online quotes $598 for 225/45ZR-17 ST115's.
Price includes old tire disposal, mounting, balancing, taxes, etc...

Where have the rest of you purchased your falken tires other then getting them from subydude with rims?

If I can get the tires only that would be cool, I can get them mounted & balanced.

If you buy rims from Suby Dude, I will get you 4 ST115 225/45/17 and mount them for you for $550. I got tires in stock.

By "I" I mean BOZZ and we are in Union City.

I want to use my existing wheels (da school bus yellow subzeros). So if I can get just the tires, I can have them mounted at a friends shop.
I wish tirerack sold falkens.
I may just get some cheap tires like Kumho ECSTA ASX for the summer, see what a 420 treadwear is like. ;x

tires.com .... edgeracing.com has them too but shipping is more at that site.

then get them installed at sams club or costco.

or just price match the online price at the actual discount/americas tire co store.

oh does AI price match?

with this price, you could call up one of the actual discount tire direct stores and then ask them to price match this online price and the sams club install price, it will be less than $480 in the end, and you dont even pay for shipping now (since they would source the tires for you). pretty good for a set of nice summer rubber.

now, all the vendors that viewed this thread, its your turn to match that pricing.

As a "vendor", I don't want to bother doing it for $10 in profit, as much as I want to help you guys out. Plus, my boss will cut my hoo-has off if I do anyways.

Plus, if you get them from me, I'll give them to you 10 min after you come to the shop. So what is waiting for them worth to you?

It's impossible for Local vendors to price match tirerack and discount tire as we do like 1/1,000,000 of the amount of sales they do, so intern they get to offer their customers lot better pricing.

damn i am all about supporting local business, but i had no idea that translated into the tire market as well, cuz i know the rotas are the best deal in town. if a local vendor were to bring their retail price down a bit (while still higher than a big co) just to show effort, i would definitely buy from the local vendor, as i have in years past with most of the socal vendors.

Thumbs up

Try Vulcan Tire Sales: http://www.vulcantire.com/index.html

They usually have good prices for Falkens.

Are they shipping you the tires, or is one of the installers price matching?
