Go figure.
Pretty much the same findings here for pricing:
255/40zr18
GoodYear: $169.95 ea
TireRack: $148. ea

225/35zr19
GoodYear: $259.95 (Normally $315... right!)
TireRack: $220.

I also prefer to give my local mechanic my business, but he too can't match or come close to price.
I'll end up bringing him the tires to mount/balance for $14 each tire.

What are your thougths on Roadhazard through Tire Rack?
