If you need tires, TireRack is THE place!
www.tirerack.com

I ordered 4 tires for my Honda at 2:35pm yesterday. At about 2:37pm, the phone rang. It was one of their customer service representatives letting me know that, as I was ordering tires that were slightly different than stock, I should inflate them to 35psi instead of the 32psi recommended by the manufacturer. I can't imagine that abybody else would have made a special call to tell me that.

They just arrived! 25 1/2 hours later, standard UPS Ground service.

I love that place.

1. how are the prices? Still a win with shipping?
Tires must be expensive to ship...

2. Not bad. It was $31.56 to ship them.
I saved a lot more than that on the tires themselves...even considering mounting and balancing costs.

3. I've recommended tirerack to many friends
They're a great company.

The only people that hate them is UPS drivers who have to carry each of the 4 wheels to your door separately.

4. Love TireRack
Ordered a set of snow tires on their own rims, so I can switch to snows just by changing 4 tires. They arrived 2 days earlier than promised, installed without a single rim scratch and perfectly balanced. Price was good too.

5. I'm probably going to order a set of summer wheels from them.
My '93 Integra, which I bought used about 4 months ago, came with steel wheels, which will remain on through the winter.

But come next Spring, I'm gonna get some 16's for it. Black ones.

I go over to tirerack.com every now and them just to play with the "See how these look on your car" feature.

It's cool.
