I know when I bought the current tires I have, Tire-easy after shipping
charges was $100 cheaper than Tire Rack, and they wre the cheapest online
source I found for the Riken Raptors.
As for tires. If you can find the 255/55/17 Federal SS595s, then I'd
recommend them. I know a few guys running them. They are a very aggressive
looking tire, and perform great from the reviews I have seen. Plus they
come in the stock size, or if you want they also come in the 255/50/17 size
as well.

I'm always on the lookout for better deals on tires. I had never
heard of tires-easy.com, so I checked it out. After doing so, I'd
still recommend comparing them to Tire Rack. I briefly compared a few
tires, and they were very close on the tires I looked at, within a
couple dollars per tire, sometimes Tire Rack was cheaper, sometimes
more expensive. I did notice a trend in the shipping though; Tire
Rack's shipping was always cheaper than tires-easy.com, by about
$10-20 per order of 4 tires.
So, thanks for the additional source, I will definitely price out
tires there the next time I am in the market, but I'm not going to
delete Tire Rack from the ol' favorites list just yet. ;-)
