A possible better way to deal with Tire Rack.

Sometimes you can save more money buying from Tire Rack if you have a VERY co operative local tire dealer you use that knows and likes you.

How it works is you can let them buy the Tires from Tire Rack on THEIR OWN store account with Tire Rack (if they have one) -In some cases the Tire Rack Van comes to these local Tire Shops every 2-3 days, just like the Snap-On Tool Vans do).

You just simply pay your Tire Shop on your credit card, and then the Tire Shop buys them from Tire Rack direct, and then Tire Rack drop ships the tires direct to the local Tire Shop, which then calls you when the Tires arrived there from Tire Rack

I did a deal that way in October with some Wheels from Tire Rack.

It worked great!!!
