Did you try bjs or cosco. Sometimes you can get a good deal and I believe they can order what you want if its a brand they sell. They got a good warranty for there tires as well.

Going through the same ordeal man, go with tirerack.com
That's what I'm going to do sometime when I get enough coin saved up for the set I want.

I can get a deal on the nexen n3k's through oewheels, for $560 shipped but still need mount, balance. And because I'm going to roll on 17's over the 16's on it now I'll likely need an alignment. My TFT connection left the shop localy, but I can always find some other shop to mount them.

Or I can spend $730 on Firestone Firehawk WIDE OVAL Indy 500, mounted,balanced, and aligned.

Do the Nexens and have em mounted at a mom and pop shop close to you!!! usually will cut you a better deal on tires wen you didnt buy them from them.

I use TireRack myself. FYI they now have a Shipping warehouse in Windsor CT, 5 Minutes off 91.... You have to call in order to have them to ship directly there, but you can pick them up vs. paying the shipping.

So if your close to Windsor CT (or don't mind driving a little) you can save the shipping which pays for the mounting/balancing....
