Tire Rack does not mount tires they will drop ship them to selected shops in your area. I use a nearby Firestone service center to have my tires mounted and balanced which cost approximately $85 for 4 tires. I live near one of Tire Racks distribution centers which enables me to pick them up and save an additional $40.
I haven't bought any tires for my xfire from them yet but if you search their site you will find them along with a price.
Tire Rack tire cost delivery to any local shop in my area that would then charge to mount and balance them couldn't touch Costco's price on my F150. Again, I've not had to buy tires yet for my XF but I have to assume I can get the tires I want on my XF at Costco. I wanted special tires for my F150 and placed my order with Costco. About a week later I was notified they were in and to schedule my service time.
