Don't worry about whether they have free shipping, compare the final prices instead, that's all that counts.

Yup. All of the above websites sell tires and ship them to you. You can then get them mounted and balanced by any mechanic or tire shop in your area. Even Wal-Mart's tire departments usually can mount and balance tires that aren't purchased there, and at reasonable rates. Do you have Wal-Mart in Arkansas? (Just kidding!)

If you don't need to use these tires in snow and frigid cold, then you don't need all-season tires, in which case this previous post has a lot of good advice on the best 15" summer tires for the ITR, depending on your priorities for performance, price, etc.

Feel free to ask more questions...

Don't forget to send for your $40 rebate from Kumho! (Sorry to anyone who hasn't bought them yet - the offer expired this past weekend.)

I've gotten good deals from Tire Rack before (AVS Intermediates in 215/45/17 for $40-something each) in the past, but you have to find someone to mount them.

Last two sets of tires I have bought from a local Discount Tire. Their in-store prices line up with their web prices, and the shop I went to was very good. I wanted a Kumho tire they didn't list online, but they were able to get them in a few days.

it depends on the person who works there...i use to be a "tech" there and never had a complaint about my mounting or balancing for the two years i worked there...

i really loved to balance tires...it was like a game to me...

I've had some good experiences with tire service at Wal-Mart. Talk to the folks there, and express any concerns; if you don't feel confident in them, go elsewhere.
