I'm a buy local kinda guy, but Last time I bought truck tires I had to reconsider.
I found them at onlinetires.com, same exact tire just around $100 less per tire. Even with the shipping, I saved $400 on the set.
None of the local guys wanted to come down on their prices, they just got p#$#4ed off that I asked.
The local shops have a lot of overhead they need to cover, I get it. They also add the experience and customer service and all that, which IS certainly worth something.
Had they met me somewhere in the middle I would have re-considered it, but they chose not to discuss it.
It's unfortunate, but tire companies have to change their business models, or they will fail. You simply can't fight a free market. It ALWAYS flows towards lower prices, just ask walmart.
It's like deciding if I want to pay $80 to hear four different artist's songs on four different $20 vinyl records, or just listen to them all for free on the internet, and have them with me everywhere I go, and never worry about scratches.
It's not even a contest.
Yeah, I LIKE to support the artists, ... but ... not the point of foolishness.
Same with tires. I'd feel foolish spending an extra $400 just to keep it local.

On July 4th 1998 my dad and I was sitting on the front porch when he said that he was going to sell his two 10-20's to a junk man. He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
