Get thee to TireRack - their selection excellent and prices are competitive. I ordered replacement tires for my spouse's SAV a couple of Fridays ago and they were at my installers in 2 days. Their turnaround on deliver is excellent.
And, as a few other posters have already found, clink thru MrRebates (free) and earn an additional 5% rebate at TireRack and at many other "e-tailers".

BTW, the Bridgestone and Dunlop Performance Winter Tires seem to be leading the "most often selected" list.
Good luck and safe driving!

Doesn't TireRack ship to Canada ? Should they set up a subsid with the not so distant foreign nations?
