The only problem with having them shipped in is finding someone who will install them for you without raping your wallet because you didn't buy from them.
If you want the tire to last take a look at the rated tread wear (UTQG). I bought Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires because they were rated well and the UTQG was 600, ride good and are inexpensive.

If you want to spend $700 dollars every year that's up to you or you can spend $800-$900 and get a good set that will last you 2-3 years. I tell that to my customers all the time and it is true. They have a saying in Spanish that the cheap stuff will end up being more expensive in the long run.

www.discounttiredirect.com has them for $692.00 duty included. I am also getting set up with a big tire distributor this week and could probably get them cheaper than that or even a tire equivalent like the Hankook Ventus v12.
I got my BFG KDW2s from them for almost 200 cheaper than anyplace else and they were at my front door in 2 days. Love the BFGs by the way.

Okay so, I've been looking for a good price tires for a month now and my car is coming out of the storage in 2 weeks. I've searched and call so many places (FML on long distance phone bill).
The cheapest tires that was offered to be were federal and hercules tires which i find it crap and prob wont buy. So im leaning towards Falken 452 245/35/20. I've got quoted range of 700-850taxed.
However I found a place "autogard" which would sell me thre tires for $770 installed + $80 off + free alignment + free diagnostic check + free brake inspection, sounds good doesn't it?
I still find it pricey because I know they get it for range of 500. Does anyone know where I could find good tires for a price range of 6xx range or has hook up or stick with autogard?

what size are you looking for and how many?
i have Falken 452, i found them a good balance between price and performance.
for 245/45/18 i paid $220 each plus tax.. was around $490 for both.
for 245/30/20 i was told $240 each plus tax
for 275/30/20 i was told $280 each plus tax

As far as 452's go, I'd say they're a decent tire if you're not running whacked out camber or a heavy foot on a staggered rwd car. I put almost 60k on my Subaru with a good alignment and 3 track days. Never found noise to be an issue.
The kumho ecsta spts I have on my g have worn terribly in 20k and noise levels aren't great.
Just incase you're interested.
