PSS - Where?
 
I need a set of 225/45ZR17 quickly, as my car will be repaired and just waiting on tires.

I would love to support a vendor, but have only found one tire vendor, and they can't get those?

Anyone know where the cheapest/best place to get them are? Price must factor in shipping unless that's free.

I'll keep looking, but if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it!

Pilot Super Sports I mean... Although I'm sure everyone knows that.

I have to have them shipped today, or slightly possibly Monday.

Thanks everyone!

Have you tried calling local stores? Costco, Mr Tire, Merchants, JustTire, etc. Some of the shops can get them on the same day if they have stocks in warehouse. If it doesn't have to be PSS, you have a lot of quick options.

Costco has them on our area. If not, go here http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/homepage.html and look for dealers, call those listed there that are closest to you. Thats usually how I shop for tires in a hurry, and so far it has worked.

I tried Costco, they were cheapest for a day, then they went off Sale. The biggest problem I see with them is they say specifically they won't mount non-oem sized tires to oem wheels.i just want to go from 215 to 225. If they still had their sale, I'd call the manager and try to convince him. As it stands, it's probably not worth it.

Tire rack is an option. Little Spendy but easy. The rest of those shops I've not heard of. Would just a regular tire shop (not a chain) possibly be able to order them at a competitive price to the bigger guys?

And anyone know a vendor here that sells them?

Nice, good call. Damn, I suppose I should wait a bit, it's only 7 :(

Discount Tire/American Tire has them, I just bought a set in 215/45 for less than TireRack had them for; took a day for for them to come in.

Tire rack is cheapest for the two tires I'm looking at, but shipping then kills it. So far, discount tire has been my best bet. More than Tire Rack, but certainly not enough to warrant paying shipping.

You are only changing the two? Not all of them?

I will say shipping from tirerack is incredibly fast. I have bought maybe 8 sets of tires from them and they're always within 1-2 days and perfect transactions. Super helpful on the phone as well and match any competitor rates.

I meant two different brands of tire I'm deciding between. No, I'm definitely changing 4

They would match rates (couple bucks), but no matter what I did they wouldn't take off the 80 shipping charge. Oh well, worth a shot.

No of course they wouldn't.... its shipping. They will match others on the tire price if it is cheaper.


Having said that I have seen them either beat or come within maybe 20 bucks of somewhere local or other competitors even after shipping. YMMV.
