Default Where to get OEM S-02s?

I know I can order them from Tire Rack, but is there any place around here that sells them? I supposed America's Tire Company doesn't sell them right?

Just wondering...I need new rear tires...soon.

When I last shopped around, Tire Rack had the best prices even after adding the marked-up installation fee that the local tire cos charge to install them. If course getting the tires there was a whole other matter as I had way too much stuff in my car the day I needed to get them installed (a pair fits in the front seat...barely)

I'd order them from Tire Rack, and then have a reputable tire shop install them. I am almost ready for a full set soon

WheelWorks will match TireRack's pricing (including shipping) and many even carry the tires in-stock.

You have to barter with wheel works.

Tire Rack offers Great pricing and customer service. No bartering required. This is the tire, this is the price. And the price is probably one of the better prices you can find anywhere.

I like the simplicty of the deal.

Also, it's easiest to always drop ship your tires to an installer.

Never thought of drop shipping to an installer, that would make things easier, as I can only fit two in the car....

You do have to barter with the guys are WheelWorks, and they are really busy, so it is hard to get an appointment.
