Ironically I've been tempted by but have never used Tire Rack. My local tyre shop supports all sorts of local car clubs which is a rarity these days especially with the big name tyre chains taking over the marketplace. The owner and I have talked about pricing many times and his reply is that he simply cannot beat Tire Rack's price but he can come close. More importantly, he employs local people and he supports local clubs - not that Tire Rack doesn't support programs but as much as I'm a curmudgeon, I'd rather keep my money local.
