Default *Need new tires for Shelby*

hey guys,
its that time to get some new rubbers.


I currently have

255/45/zr18 Nitto Extreme 555's on the front and
275/40/zr18 Nitto Extreme 555's on the rear.

question is, where is the best place to pick up an new set for cheap?

Where do u guys usually go to for tires?

Im thinking of sticking with these Nittos because ive had them for 2 years and i get pretty good traction and never a flat of problems.

My old GT had Pirelli's and I got 2 different flats and had to deal with plugs and replacements so I don't think im gona go for them again.

any way the best place i have found is DiscountTireDirect.com and the total would be $665.96 with shipping

(link) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...rt/showCart.do

and another site, TireBuyer.com wants $740.23.

Anyone use discounttire before? and if you guys know of any better deals its would be helpful

I've used discounttiredirect before, when they had the tires I was specifically looking for (that Tire Rack did not carry). I wouldn't hesitate to buy through them again.

Another supplier that I've used is vulcantire.com. Don't know if they carry Nittos, though.

Discount tire is the way to go. They will pricematch almost anything and usually have the lowest price anyhow.

I know a guy with some pretty sweet wheels wrapped in close to new nitto nt 555's .. he may even be willing to cut you a deal.

I like dealing with Discount Tire because they have actual stores near me, and they will match any price you find on the Internet. I usually over the phone and have them shipped to my home to save the tax, then take them in for mounting and balancing.
