Try tire rack, why anyone would ever car a dealer for tires is beyond my understanding

When I had my Audi RS4, the dealer sold me a set of wheels and TPMS at cost, price-matched TireRack on the tires, and mounted them for free since it was their policy to mount any tires purchased at the dealership for free. It was a great deal. Just one isolated example of why someone might by tires at the dealer.

Tire Rack is pricey up here because of the shipping and customs ... I'm close to the border, so when I need tires, I drive to the "local" Sam's Club. Saved 40% last time (and I did declare it at customs and everything).
