Default new tire purchase

Hey everyone,

Im looking at buying my new tires from tire rack, which i can get installed/balance/alignment for cheap, but I am wondering a few things:

I was looking at purchasing these, any thoughts? I was looking at kumho's, a bit cheaper, but im not sure if they are any good.

also, i am wondering about how much shipping will be per tire? I live in tennessee. I tried calling them, but they are closed at this time.

Can someone here who has used tire rack chime in? Thanks a ton!

Tons of people run the hankooks not problem. If your not on a budget I would get the Michelin super sports.

also, do you know roughly how much shipping actually was?

If your looking for a good all-season I'll stand behind the Bridgestone 970A/S. Wear life is great (as great as it gets on our cars) and its quite and comfortable without sacrificing wet/dry handing.
