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.
205/50R17

I checked a few places, and even walmart is more expensive. Hell, the cheapest tire in my size that Walmart sells is $140. Similar tires run me like $30 or more each locally. I made the mistake of asking about tires at the local dealership once. I think the lowest price was like $190.

I probably won't worry about the warranty. Michelin is a pretty good brand, and I doubt I'll have issues with their manufacturing quality that won't be apparent right away.

It only costs me like $25 or less to swap an entire set of tires if I bring my own. $100 a tire seems to be the best I can do on this PT Cruiser.

For example, the Exalto AS at Walmart is $230. $170 at tire rack... The local pricing always sucks. I wonder if I could just go pick up my tires from their warehouse. :P It's not that far away.. a few hours tops.

Don't need an alignment check as I just had a full alignment done last month.

$876 before shipping and rebates for 8 tires. $90 to ship em, but a total of $180 in rebates. So $796 for a full set of winter tires, and a full set of summer tires.
