Poor me - Alaska tire prices

[EvilleGT]

While I was washing my car yesterday I spotted a bulge in one of the sidewalls. Since I like to drive fast and don't want to die, I decided to start looking for replacements. It seems that there isn't a single shop in this state that carries my OEM 265/35R20 P-Zeros, and they all said it would have to be special ordered. The lowest price I could find was $450 mounted per tire. So I think I'm just going to upgrade to 4 Michelin 4S for a little over double the cost of one OEM tire and try to make the difference back by selling the 3 good ones with only 11k miles on them now that I know what the tire market is like.

Canada is close to that maybe even worse Pzeros are highly overpriced. Lots of better/cheaper alternatives available.

I checked at the shopette and they couldn't even order that size. Even using a freight service like Carlile would have added $60 per. Costco was easily the most economical option.

Have you tried Tirerack.com? I know that around me stores want $500+ for 2 tires. I can get the same tires, delivered for under $300 then another $30 to mount and balance.
