New Tires - where to buy for the best price?

Hello all,
The time has come to replace the factory tires on my G. I wanted to know where is the best place to get them (online) without feeling like I am getting raped. I know this is going to be expensive and I am OK with it, I just want to minimize the damage.

Please advise.

FC

Vulcan seems a lot cheaper than TR, but they do not have the fronts. I sent them an email and hopefully they will reply soon.

Neal,
What kind of deals do you have for a 2008 G37S Coupe? I do not see any deals that apply to me on the link that you provided.

hate to hijack this thread, but it might be some what beneficial and isn't totally off topic. Neal, whats the best you can do on a set of Yokohoma S drives 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rears shipped to Florida. These are suppose to be a great replacement to stock.

Thanks

I have ordered from TR a bunch over the years. Only had one problem and it was the manufacturer's problem where I bought a set of wheels and the manufacturer changed the design just a little bit and I got 2 different designs in the set of 4. Of course TR got it fixed and their support was great.

One word of caution I would offer to those ordering tires online is to make sure you are getting DOT dates under a year old. Some places sell tires cheap and they have been sitting in the warehouse for a long time.
