5. Believe it or not, car dealers are very competitive on tires

I usually like Discount Tire because of their customer service, but the last couple times I have taken advantage of the dealership with a Buy 3, get the 4th for $1 promotion. They have them a couple times a year.

If you do use a car dealer, cross check multiple dealer locations as the prices do vary from one to the other.
