RE: I often buy from them but....

I was surprised, the truck tires were $500 which included shipping and tax from Priority Tire, balance and installation $100. Out the door price from Discount was $900 without road hazard for the same tires.

The BMW, I got a flat and was near a tire place, the tire couldn't be fixed or matched. They gave me four options, $1,200 to $1,800. I found the overstock BF Goodrich for just under $400 including shipping and taxes, installation and balancing $80. I checked Discount tire and same tires out the door from Discount without road hazard was just under $1,200. I don't recall who the online seller was, but it wasn't Tire Rack. Someone had previously suggested Tire Rack to me and when I checked them, it was like you said no substantial saving.

In both cases I just punched in the tire size into google and then researched the tires that came up. I think the tires for the BMW was a fluke, being so inexpensive. I also bought two rear tractor tires for a Massey Furgeson for $500 including shipping and tax compared to $900 from local suppliers. This was from a place in Tennessee and I am in AZ. This really surprised me considering how big the tires were.

These have been the only time I have done this and all within the last year. Maybe I just got lucky, I don't know.
