So I'm about the pull the trigger on a set of snow tires / steelies from Tire Rack. The shipping charge is $165 which kind of threw me off.

So I did a little looking locally and it seems like the shipping charge from tire rack is made up for with the savings vs. the higher prices from the local shops + all their little add-ons.

I can't find any compelling argument against buying from Tire Rack although typically this isn't something you'd think to buy online. (for me anyway)

My question is this, has anyone else made this same type of comparison and had the same result bear out?
