Check out edgeracing.com. They are pretty reasonable. I know that tire rack is or was a sponsor here, but they dont carry many in 275/35/19 (i know they dont carry toyo in this size). I paid $262 per toyo t1r shipped to hawaii. They are normally 209 with free shipping.

I looked at them for some autocross tires (Falken) a couple weeks ago. While their prices were similar to Discount Tire Direct, DTD offered free shipping whereas EdgeRacing didn't and that was the deal breaker for me.
Is their free shipping something special or limited to certain brands, like the Toyos?

I've been checking prices for Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 in the following sizes
2- 245/40/18
2- 275/40/18
and I come up with the following quotes w/ shipping
DTD : $1018.00
Tire Rack : $966.52
edgeracing.com : Doesn't carry them
In fact they didn't even have Nissan in the vehicle list...
Anyways, DTD may have free shipping but they are not the cheapest!

sh*t they didnt have nissan in their list, i hope the 275/35/19 t1rs fit on my rims. Wait, i just checked they do have nissan. Yeah i might have been wrong about the free shipping, but either way they were significantly cheaper than any other shop i found when shipped to hawaii.

My autocross buddies recommended EdgeRacing and Vulcan tires. For the smaller sizes they run (15" and 16") EdgeRacing was cheaper than anybody else. For the 18" Falkens I wanted, DTD was the place. It pays to shop around.

When I looked on the TireRack site, I noticed that your front tires were "on special" which saved you $23 per front tire. Add that $46 saving back to the $966 and their regular price would be $1012 - almost the same as DTD. If you look at their inventory, those "special" tires are on backorder (nationwide).
Of course, when I looked at DTD's site, the rears are on backorder there. Ah the joys of dealing with online sellers!

Actually, two of my last three sets of tires that I bought I got locally. The shop beat the prices from any of the online stores. Plus I found a guy that I could trust my new Volk wheels with.
It definitely won't hurt to ask around locally after you've found your best deal online. You're gonna need somebody local to mount and balance them anyway so it never hurts to have a local connection. That's where you really learn the meaning of "customer service".

I don't know how many people are in SLC, Utah I am a Manager for Discount Tire and I have been hooking people up involved with SCCA and Miller Motorsports Park. We have touchless mount tire changers so the wheels cannot get scracthed.
