Recommendations for Tire Source Cheaper &/or Better than Tire Rack...?

[RobPatt]

My style 5s came 18 months ago w/Michelin Pilot Primacy's.
Got a nail on the highway today, come home to see tire's got about 5psi and sidewalls are trashed.

Then to see the friggin tire is $203 at tirerack.

Roads here (Mississippi Gulf Coast) full of trash as cleanup and construction still ensues from post Katrina.....

So, anyone recommend another tire source?

ouch this hurts....Rob.


(would like to get out of the michelins all together, but other 3 tires have I'd estimate at still over 50% tread left.... )
