I was about to recommend Discount Tire, then I remembered how they deleted one of my posts for absolutely no reason.
You see Todd, people remember things, and the things you do can come back to haunt you. The webb is a powerful thing. I'd be more careful with my capricious actions in the future.
However, personal feelings aside, I have been buying from Discount Tire for 12 years now. They are great people to work with. In the last 2 months I have bought a set of Dunlop SP9000s from my Nismos, and a set of Dunlop GT Qualifiers for my truck. My wife Probably has a year of tread left on her tires, when I replace I will probably go with Dunlop SP5000s. Yes, I love Dunlops. They're even on my Harley.

Toyo T1-S in those specs you should be able to get it balanced and mounted for $1000 flat. Like I said, gotta bargain but Vic is a good guy. Bought my Volf SF-Challenges from him....

Please see the copy and paste I just did from the Discount Tire Web Site:
Discount Tire Direct
If you are looking for tires or wheels, but cannot find a store close to you, please try our mail order division, Discount Tire Direct, or call 800-589-6789.
They are in fact the same company.
Why do people say things that aren't true?

here is the deal and a source of part of the confusion.
Discount tire direct=discount tires=America's tire (in calif)
it is called America's tire in Calif, because there is already a company called discount tire center here so they had to change the name for calif only
DTD= http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.jsp
America's tire/Discount= http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/home.jsp
Discount tire centers in calif (not affil with other 2)= http://www.discounttirecenters.com/
