Apologies, but all the other threads I found were closed.

Did some foot work today checking out options. Yep, went to 'the place that is not to be named'. It was like they were doing me a favor. And most expensive of places I canvased.

Best deal was Sam's Club, and really nice guy. The tire place near Sam's seemed ok as well.

So, question, where to go for tires? Suggestions appreciated.
Biggest secret on Sams Club tires is that they are made to Sams specifications, which means they have less tread depth that's why they are cheaper. Unless you can match tire manufacturer part numbers you will be getting what you pay for. Most dealers now have price match guarantees, do your research then check your dealer. Dealers know that the place you buy tires usually ends up with your service business so they want to be your tire source.
