I got my Yokohamas at Sears last year for around $55 a tire… Sometimes they run deals on a specific tire… I got my Sumitomos pretty cheap…

Try Marsh Tire in Charleroi. Prices are usually close to Tire Rack, but no shipping, just tax.

I think NTB has a price match gaurentee… take in a print out of the price of the tires and maybe the’ll match it if they have them in stock… I know they carry Falken…

[Vulcan tire](http://www.vulcantire.com) was the other one… but… of coarse… there in PA so they charge tax… better off just asking Hybrid for them… i got mine for the same price… less of a wait for shipping.
