A good place to order tires online?

I need to get some new tires for my 95 4Runner and where I live in Mass. everyone wants 130-150 a piece for crappy radials, it's rediculous. What's a good website? I'm just looking for some decent 31's. Does anyone have any recomedations? I only need two for the front and I don't really do any off roading. I've got Pathfinder A/P's on there right now, they came with it and they suck.

Summitracing.com generally saves you money on the shipping side.

Get them from Sam's or WalMart; there's always one around if you have problems, the price is right, and you get lifetime rotate/balance for $10 each! TireRack is good but then you have to find someone to mount them and then pay each time for balancing...which pretty much eats into any savings.

Walmart is good on there prices, the only complaint i have is its just takes them soooooooo long to do anything.. Atleast around here there that way.. Even the pharmacy is slow.. My sister took her car to Walmart in Little Rock last Friday.. She said it took them 4 hours to change her oil with only 3 cars in front of her!!!!!! Here in MS ive spent a couple hours before just getting a flat fixed.. I have often wondered if they didn't do it on purpose figuring you would spend more in the store while waiting...

Try eBay and tirerack.com
I've bought tires from both with great prices.

I just bought a NEW set of 17" alloy Yota wheels with BRAND NEW tires on ebay for $380. That's for FOUR!

They came with all lug nuts & center caps.

That's a good score TNRabbit, I'll check Ebay, I didn't even think of that. Are those rims off a Tacoma?

I've used both TireRack.com and SummitRacing.com, usually get the total, w/ shipping from both then go with the lower. They both have warehouses in the next state, so usually end up being 1-2 day delivery for me.

Try your local craigslist.

I picked up a set of four 16" premium factory Tacoma steel rims with four stock tires with 40% of the tread left, the lug nuts and center caps, all for $100.00.

I see wheels and tires come up all the time. Keep looking and you'll score.
