Where are you finding the best deals on tires???

I need to find a replacement set of rear tires for my 91... 295/35zr18. The BFG g-force drag radials are thin and can't be used on my local road course and I'm gonna run in the GoodGuys autocross here next month, so...

Where are you guys buying your tires? You getting them local, or buying them online? If your buying online is there a place you would recommend for best pricing service what not? Of course I'm looking for a deal, but don't wanna just try the first shady internet place with the best price.

I have looked at tirerack and such other major Google finds, but thought I would see where others have bought theirs.

On a second note/question... I have BFG Gforce KDWII's up front. Should I stick with the KDWII for the rear for brand loyalty, visual asthetics front to rear, or give something else a try? BFG Rivals? Nitto NT05?

I got mine from tire rack. Very satisfied with them. They were also on clearance. Think I got them for about $100 each

I wish I had gone wider but I was worried about rubbing. My next set I'm thinking 285's or so. Mine are 265's right now and are a little too skinney on the wheels

I will have to check out their ebay site. I have 295's in a drag radial and I'm gonna take them off for a street friendly tire

Thanks!

I started out with a 265 Front, and 285 Rear combo... if your BS is right you can do a 275 up front and 285 really easy.
