Tire Rack - you have a wide selection, good prices, and fast delivery. They can help you find an installer in the area too.

Just bought 5 tires for trailer at Snappy Lube and Auto....Goodyear Marathon. He is located at 49 and Old Sozanna in Dadeville. I did not have time to check prices as I needed them the next morning and it was 4 PM. He called 3 wholesales and found the best price and they were delivered in the AM from Atlanta. Checked Walmart and Tire Rack after the fact and he beat both when you include tax and or shipping. Plus he is local and treated a stranger well. He is across from the Medical Park on 49.

I use Tire Rack to check reviews and pricing, haven't bought from them in 10 years. Their failure to collect and forward the sales tax provides a seemingly obvious advantage over our locally owned and operated tire stores. Last month, had to replace 4 tires on my pickup. Tire Rack was $880 + $112 for shipping, $992 delivered. Never followed up to check local install prices. Called Brian at Tiger Tire in Auburn, $1018 mounted, balanced, out the door with lifetime flat repair. Brian put money toward his rent and keeping some locals employed, I actually saved some coin, AND paid toward some of the essential services provided though the city and state. Tire Rack and the other online retailers may save you some coin today, but long term, the distant virtual non tax collecting/forwarding retailers will be high cost to all of us.

every time I've looked into tire rack prices, I've been able to beat it...I usually buy from Kaufmann Tire in the Atlanta area if I can work it into my schedule. Also, they have always beat Wally World, Costco, and Sams when I've compared prices for the whole package....I know that doesn't help Mike with his trailer, but thought I'd throw it out there for folks that also shop the Atlanta market.
