Got 6 tires (4 for the Sentra & 2 for the Sonata) with road hazard, mount, balance & valves for $645. Getting the tires from Tire Rack with shipping would have been $520 alone without the mount/balance/valves/road hazard. Not only did I get all the warranties, but saved the $80 shipping as well...
If you only need tires, what do you do? You can go to the local shop and they are quite often higher and you also pay the taxes.
