tirerack.com has the cheapest i've seen. but you gotta realize that you're gonna have to pay to mount them. so compare with some local dealers who will throw that mount and balance in with the purchase.

Ditto on tirerack.com

I just purchased Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVOs from tirerack and had them mounted w/lifetime balancing at a local NTB. The whole deal cost me about $100 less than the next best price from a local dealer.

Holy Crap man! If they quoted you those prices take it and run. I haven't seen those tires bought mounted and balanced for less than $700 on the A/T's and the M/T's that cheap is a great deal. i would do it if i were still looking for tires.

hmmmm, well tirerack.com has the a/t revo 265/75/16 at 124 per tire..for 4 it would be 496 and shipping is only like 20 bucks....and i take my car to NTB for mounting and balance..they charge 75 for it...so it would be 591 for me to do it...maybe you can see how much it would cost for you to just have them mount and balance??? i'm sure the savings would be similar across the board..savings only 30 bucks or so...if it's not worth it to you, then go local...hope this helps

I probably should have included this in my previous post:

4 - 265/70/16 from tirerack w/shipping: $508
NTB mount/lifetime balance/tire disposal/new valve stems: $106

total: $614

Yeah, I think the prices you quoted are competitive. Also be aware that tirerack will drop-ship the tires to the dealer of your choice if you want a no-hassle install.

I just bought new tires from Costco/Kirkland this weekend. (B-Stone Dueler A/T; 31x10.5r15. Price came out to $406 because they have a $60 discount sale. I believe each tire was $106. This includes a 50,000 mile warranty, and free tire rotation and the other tire things.(alignment)
