costco or sams club...you can special order non-oem tires. they are pretty quick and their pricing is pretty similar with tirerack minus the shipping.

gotta give nu-image and tire source a call tomorrow n see what they got. currently got a guy from another forum getting me a quote on some RE-11's for 10% over cost from firestone... just dont know what cost is.
if all else fails ill just get the Hankook Ventus V12 from tirerack for like $860 shipped.

Check with Larry's in Waipahu first? The place I got mine from was packaged with the wheels. I've heard some people getting as low as 170/per on these tires at 265/xx/19. Then check ebay.
From what I gathered, the company might have been subsidizing these tires at a low cost to get them in the market. Would be the only reason to explain why they are so competitive.
