Discount or Big O are usually the cheapest... Ask about USED tires as well... Sometimes people who buy new wheels have good tires that get re-sold...

Thats where I bought mine. They often have a coupon for $60 off if you buy four tires.

As for which brand to buy, check Consumers Reports.

What were you looking at? Toyo TPT's? That's what is on my wife's GTP. Did you ask about their Proxes 4? They are usaully a couple hundred dollars or more cheaper than the Proxes TPT's.

Check out prices on www.tirerack.com then go to discount tire and 90% of the time they will match their price.

Dont ever go to Les Schwab. I had them just dismount a tire off one of my rims, and my dad has the same for his Z06 and both rims came back scratched/chipped in many places. When we went back to have them pay for getting them repaired they claimed they didnt do it. Give your business to costco or discount.
