I have purchased two sets from tirerack.com--most recenlty last week. 
Since I end up not having to pay sales tax (they must not have a 
presence in WI) it is pretty much cheaper than going local. (with the 
exception of sam's club anyway. Tires are pretty damn cheap at sam's 
club but you are giving money to wallymart which I hate doing but that 
is anohter story.) This most recent set had a $50 mail in rebate so 
shipping is going to be covered by that. Another bonus.

The first time I bought a set from them it was for my Datsun Roadster. 
When it came time to input, on the web page, the type vehicle the tyres 
were for, this type car was not an available option. I ended up having 
to go with a 70 240 Z since it was pretty much the closest option. Well, 
this must have put up a red flag of some sort since someonce called me 
the next day from that company to verify my order saying the size tyre I 
ordered was not commonly ordered for the 240Z. I was fairly impressed by 
that level of customer service.

Both sets of tyres ended up at my house withing two business days as 
well so my wait was very short. This is obvioulsy based on the warehouse 
being fairly close to WI, but still nice to not have to wait for ever 
for them.
