I'm a buy local kinda guy, but Last time I bought truck tires I had to reconsider.
I found them at onlinetires.com, same exact tire just around $100 less per tire. Even with the shipping, I saved $400 on the set.
None of the local guys wanted to come down on their prices, they just got p#$#4ed off that I asked.
The local shops have a lot of overhead they need to cover, I get it. They also add the experience and customer service and all that, which IS certainly worth something.
Had they met me somewhere in the middle I would have re-considered it, but they chose not to discuss it.
It's unfortunate, but tire companies have to change their business models, or they will fail. You simply can't fight a free market. It ALWAYS flows towards lower prices, just ask walmart.
It's like deciding if I want to pay $80 to hear four different artist's songs on four different $20 vinyl records, or just listen to them all for free on the internet, and have them with me everywhere I go, and never worry about scratches.
It's not even a contest.
Yeah, I LIKE to support the artists, ... but ... not the point of foolishness.
Same with tires. I'd feel foolish spending an extra $400 just to keep it local.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
