What type of car are you throwing these on?

Beware tire warranties... You have to have documented proof that you've had them rotated and balanced within THEIR intervals, and that you have had the alignment checked at THEIR intervals. You slip up once? Boom, it's gone. Also, they only provide a pro-rating towards your new tires.

Also, while Tire Rack is great for brands that local shops don't carry, check with the local shops first for those that do carry them. Even if they don't have them in stock, they can typically have them in within a week. (For free, you don't pay shipping) Plus, many shops will not charge you to install the tires, balance them and check your alignment. Even if they do, it will be cheaper... If you buy them from somewhere else, they will typically charge you more than if you bought them from them. Plus many shops will rotate and balance them for free if you bought them from them.

So while you'll have to pay taxes, typically they're cheaper to buy locally; even if they can't match the exact price of Tire Rack.
