Arrow Any common places to buy tires?

I'm needing to buy new tires here by the end of the month. I usually go to discount tire direct to get tires and I usually stick to the Falken's brand, currently have on Falken azenis. Are there any common places that you guys go to buy tires and common brands that wont break the bank but good for everyday driving?

I have a 93 400 and have had two sets of Falkens. They never seem to wear well and I just thought it was the car. Sales guy had me try Khumos. The were significantly cheaper but they have been great. Much better than the Falkens

I've had luck a few times with Sam's Club carrying a model of tire in the size I needed but I have to echo the recommendation for Tire Rack. I've used them for at least ten years and I've always been happy.

As for a good brand and model that isn't overly expensive and has good treadwear and rain tratction, I personally love the BFGoodrich Comp2.

Yeah I just got those for my sc400 and it was a HUGE upgrade from super old ones that were not rated for the car, I like them so far but I haven't a lot of experience with other tires so

I actually have always used the local Sears, they price match any online price and usually get them next day.

Tirerack ran out of stock on the BFGs so I ended up buying the last 4 on discount tire direct website. They had a sale today and came out to be $475 with a rebate.

A lot of people don't know this, but you can haggle Discount Tire's prices. You can surprisingly knock off a couple bucks
