I would echo the statements of others. I have purchased a couple of sets of tires from Tire Rack. The shipping charges usually kill the deal and as others have stated, if you have to get them mounted and balanced on your existing wheels it also kills the deal. I got a good deal of a set of wheels with tires though. There is also the hassle of having somewhere to ship the tires to. I used to have a shop that would handle all that stuff for me but it was still a hassle.

It used to be that America's Tire would match Tire Rack but now they have started factoring in shipping as well. Now I'd just go to Costco or America's Tire. Another thing is that Tire Rack doesn't sell Toyos, which were my last set of tires purchased. Since you don't have America's Tire up there I'd say price them out at Costco.
