^^^ This. Just bought 2 sets of tires. Wanted to do Tire Rack but the prices were not that great when you factored in shipping and then dealing with finding an installer. Ended up ordering from WalMart. Same price, tax was the same as shipping, and they shipped to the store for free. I went in and they installed them for $12/tire. No mess, no fuss.
Even Costco is getting expensive, "requiring" the TPMS service kit ([censored]) and only stocking 2 manufacturer's tires.
