My Ride: 2009 550i sports, Nav, logic Best E60 yet
2004 545i, sports pkg, logic 7 steptronic, rear shade,orient blue with beige interior, blue tooth enabled Razer Phone. 2004 X5 3.0, sports pkg, stepronic, summer pkg. imola red.
2006 Mini Cooper S, manual, sports, prem pkg, nav and kitchen sink.
I have to buy a new set of tire for my 07 X5, (man are these expensive) anyway tire racks price is not bad, but I still have to add in frieght and instillation, they offer a list of local installers that Iv'e never heard of so I'll take the tire to my dealership if I buy them from Tire Rack.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale Florida, any recommendations will be appreciated, oh and I have to put R/F back on because she's leased.
Thanks

Orient Blue, Tan Interior
I say tire rack for research and best price, then if you talk to the right person at Discout Tire or Tire Discounters they will match. Just tell them you have a coupon code for free shipping

I am a huge fan of Discount. I think their prices are good plus for only $20 you get road hazard insurance. Since I have low profile tires, this is a must. I have already sent back 1 tire after some damage after a pot hole.

Sometimes a dealership will match their pricing if they want to move some tires.

I've used Tire Rack and been very pleased with their service. Recently however I've used Discount Tire as they generally match the TR prices and I like the concept of having my tires supplied/installed by the same entity. That way you don't get in the middle of a finger pointing battle if there's a problem. Also as someone else mentioned the free puncture repair, etc. is good.

My Ride: 09 M5 (E60) Interlagos blue, Silverstone interior, with cold weather package. Adaptive Xenon headlamps and adaptive brake lights, hud, comfort access. Comfort seats, basically fully loaded.
i'd say Lake shore tire and wheels are pretty good. I've shopped at tire rack as well as Lake shore, i was equally satisfied but Lake shore had more prompt delivery and better prices over the whole package. I dunno about buyin tires alone from Lake shore would benefit you over buyin it from the Tire Rack though. Gud Luck
