Cheapest place to buy tires, 275/25/18
My iForged rims will be here soon and I need to find some tires. The cheapest I've found so far is victoriatire.com , found some for $148.00 a piece. Just wondering if anyones seen cheaper before I order. Don't really care what brand. Thanks in advance, Rain

Go to Tire Rack and type in the size in the "search by size" field. 275/35-18 will net you 23 different manufacturers and models to choose from. Check the "ratings" to get feedback from users on things like dry traction, wet traction, noise, comfort, or whatever is important to you. Select a few that meet your specifications and price range.
Do NOT shop by "price" alone, unless you are only interested in "looks" and not in overall performance and tread life... there is a huge variation in each of these areas. In general, you will get what you pay for.
Print out the Tire Rack data, and go to your local dealers for that brand of tire, and ask them for competetive pricing. Remember, the local dealer will include installation, valves, balancing, any tire disposal fees (requirement vary by state law), and road hazard insurance (if you want it). Compare this to the price from Tire Rack, plus shipping, plus all of the other things the local dealer will provide for the price.
If Tire Rack comes out to the lowest price, do no hesitate to order from them... they provide excellent service.

You found Victoria Tire through Ebay, right? they are the cheapest you will find. I have 275/35/18s and the cheapest I found retail was for Kumos @ $175 each. I lucked out and was able to trade my stock 16s and tires + $150 for 4 new Pirellis. My next set I will get from Victora Tire, which is around 30 miles from my house.
