Had my front drivers side tire shred last night on the turnpike during rush hour. Changing a tire on a 10’ wide shoulder with people flying by at 85-90 is NOT fun! Anyway, is [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com) or [discounttiredirect.com](http://discounttiredirect.com) still the best deal for getting tires? ---

by far yes. Tirereack was cheaper for tires for my car, and discounttiredirect was cheaper on tires for my truck. Check them both. I even checked sams club and BJ’s, and both were EXPENSIVE compared to discounttire. The only thing with a mail order tire place is getting them mounted, but if you find a good local shop then its a good deal. I’ve seen places want to charge 25 dollars a tire to mount, I wouldn’t pay more than 45-50 to mount 4 tires and balance. ---

i was browsing around on them and you used to be able to get a steel rim mounted and balanced for an extra $15 per tire on [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com) but i dont see that option anymore. Anyone know if they stopped this? I think my original rim might be damaged, it was too dark to check it out yesterday but the tire went from inflated to riding on the rim in like 2 seconds and i drove probably 30 yds. before stopping. ---

they do sell steel wheels, it may be under the winter section of the site. You might want to call and ask. My buddy got a set of steel wheels with snows from tirerack, I think the wheels for more like 40 each, not 15. ---

Try [vulcantire.com](http://vulcantire.com) too. Probably whatever site offers free shipping will probably be the cheapest. A few ebay seller have some good tire deals as well.
