Cheap tires online or otherwise?

My buddy has a 06 FX45 with run flats. He wants to go the run flat route again, but wants to know if there are any online shops or local socal shops that can do them for cheaper than the dealer would charge.

He's looking for 265 50 R20 RFT - Bridgestone Potenza RE92A RFT, but he's not picky.

TIA

I have always purchased my tires from Discount Tire. They have very good rates, and they will price match anyone else. I've even had them price match TireRack.com's prices, so that's really good. I'm not sure what the dealer is quoting him, but TireRack.com's price is $272 each.

Honestly, I'm not sure why your friend wants to keep runflats on his FX. I've never understood the benefit of not carrying a spare tire so that you can drive around on overpriced tires that make the car feel like crap.

+1 for Discount Tire Direct.

I've ordered my last two sets of tires there. If you call and speak with Travis or Luke, they will get you an extra forum discount.

+1 on edgeracing.com

They have the cheapest prices for tires and shipping hands down. They also usually ship within 24 hours. However they don't carry Bridgestone Potenza RE92A RFT in 265/50/R20. Only Toyo's, Hancook's and Falken tires.

Tell him not to get runflats. Just carry a spare and have better ride quality.

+1 Have bought most of my last tires from Discount Tire, they do good work.

Ebay. Just keep an eye out. You can find really good deals on tires. The last 2 rounds of tires for some 19" cost me about 600 for tires with only a couple thousand miles.
