Discount Tire Direct - $50 off 4 wheels or 4 tires OR $100 off 4 wheels+tires

EDIT: Quick update, discount tire direct is having another sale, this time they're only offering $50 off for sets of 4.

I hope a post like this is allowed...

Through October 20th Discount Tire Direct is having a sale on sets of tires or rims. Buy 4 tires: get $100 off instantly, buy 4 wheels: get $100 off instantly, buy 4 wheels AND 4 tires: get $200 off instantly! A truly awesome deal!

Like tirerack they also have free mounting and balancing, plus their shipping is free (UPS Ground). For a set of Enkei RPF1s, a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons (225/45 18), and a set of TPMS sensors (quoted over the phone at $67 each) here are the totals I got...
Tirerack.com: $2130.69
Discount Tire Direct: $1928.00 ($202.69 less, nice!) (remember to remove all the stuff you don't want from the cart, like the lug nuts)

They don't sell Toyos

Also, Goodyears right now have a $40 MIR cash card on a set of four tires, which can be combined with this offer.

However, taking 235/40 ZR 18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's as an example (a tire I might buy), the price on Discount is $219 vs $209 on tirerack, and you still get the $40 MIR.

ya, i did notice that they carry a different set of tires than tirerack. works out well for me, though, since it gives me the breadth of selection i like having available if i shop both places...oO

Tire rack doesn't carry a full selection of Toyos. They definitely don't have anything for the MS3 in Toyo.

Don't forget that TireRack charges for shipping while Discount Tire Direct has shipping included in the price.

TR: $209 * 4 = $836
+ $30 for shipping (guess) = $866
- $40 = $826

DTD: $219 * 4 = $876
- $100 = $776
- $40 = $736

With this deal, Discount Tire Direct is $90 less for the same tire and shipping! Worst case scenario: somehow you got free shipping at TR and could not get the $40 rebate for the tires, DTD would still be $20 less!

Those are dirt cheap prices! Im thinking of buying an extra set even though I just bought some a couple weeks ago.

Just bought the Falken ZE 912's. Very nice tire but the sidewalls feel soft which makes for a nice ride. Might just pick up some 452' and save them for next summer.

using the TR calculator, the ideal tire size to replace the stock 215's would be 225/45/18 (for the MS3). But you can save quite a bit more money getting 225/40/18 tires.

anybody have an opinion on the pros/cons of getting a slightly undersized (smaller dia.) tire? I know it throws off the speedometer somewhat.

What would be the cons to buying tires now, if they will be sitting in an unheated shed for a year or so?

I ask as I could pick up replacement tires for under $200 for all four but the tires on my car currently have 6/32nds of tread and should last another year or possibly longer.

I bet you've considered this as well, but it'll also make your odometer count slightly faster.

... hey, I guess you could tell people you get better gas mileage

I took advantage of this for my P5 (205/50/16s.) I negotiated a little bit with Tires.com customer service because Tire Rack had lower prices. I was able to replace my Pirelli P Zero Nero M&S with a new set for $396 to my door. WOO HOO!
