    Default Best price for Star Specs?

    I need to order a set of four 255/40-17 Star Specs. Tire Rack says $686.28 for four delivered to my door.

    Anyone know of a place I can get them cheaper?

    Miatamoto has a tire connection somewhere he swears by. I don't know it off the top-o-my-head.

    Discount has always matched their prices for me. I don't have any connection on the SS any more Make friends at a goodyear store (they sell dunlops).

    Yeah, I try to avoid DT stores. So much easier to click and ship from my desk than mess around with getting some tire monkey at a local store to honor a price match.

    Joe Specht is the man. I'm not sure if they carry them, but he special ordered my shaved Kumhos and still got them under Tire Rack pricing.

    Doesn't look like he carries Dunlop anyway.

    Like I was saying, he didn't carry the Kumho XS, but he got them for me anyway. Great customer service.
