Anyone know of a good place online or locally to buy tires? Specifically im looking for a decent set of 215 45 17 of summer or all season tires. Trying to find something cheap but decent performance as well. Thanks! ---

I suggest Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires from either Tirerack or any local place that sells them. They are relatively inexpensive, but according to Tireracks ratings, are one of the best tires they sell in any class. ---

Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack for car tires online. Ive used both several times. Sometimes DTD is cheaper than the other due to TR charging shipping but sometimes TR is cheaper despite the shipping charge. For truck tires it seems theyre cheaper locally. ---
