I would like to know aswell. Thanks.
I just bought my 215/45/16's from discount tire, but went in during a slow Tuesday and got them to match the online price due to free shipping :D . Onlinetire.com and edgeracing.com have them cheaper but charge shipping so they come out more. Ordering them from the store was nice because they then don't charge for the mount and balance. The only add on is the lifetime balance if you so desire. However here discount tires arent as popular yet as they are just starting so they were much more pliable on pricing.
I've ordered from Edgeracing.com twice and haven't had a problem. The pricing comes in about the same (within a few dollars) when you convince Discount to match their online pricing, but the advantage of ordering the tires from Edge is that you only pay sales tax on the mounting instead of the tires and mounting.
Like WRXmr2eater said, all you have to do is ask to get Discount to match the online pricing right now.
Why not 205-50s?
I'm not sure!?! ::Clown:: Why would I want a 205 can't be that much of a difference could it??Quote:

I felt like it made a difference going from the 195 14" Azenis to the 205 15" Hankook. Not a great comparison, but I like the 205's. I guess an advantage of the 195 15" tire is the shorter sidewall and better diameter for acceleration, but I'm not sure what makes more of a difference.Quote:

Told ya! Don't question a young CB in training. Don't bother trying to get Discount to match the price including taxes, I've already tried.Quote:

Is there a particular DT you need to goto to get that price?Quote:

I looked at what the price is in the store. It doesnt compete. It was around $90 for each tire. Ofcourse this is an online quote, and not matching any prices. But I wonder if you could get the discount direct price in the store, since they usually charge you for shipping?
Yes you can! :D Shipping is Free from discount direct and they add tax so you are good to go, at least that's the way it worked when I bought the RS2's for Vivid!Quote:

336 Mounted and balanced is what the guy just told me over the phone. That is 71 each + 5 each for mounting and balancing, and tax. 195/50-15
Just called and got mine on order from the Keller store this Morning!
$71.00 ea blah blah blah ::Clown::
Will Discount Tire Direct do tire shaving? I want to order a set of 'kooks for S2k events and track days next season, but my research seems to indicate that they do best when shaved to 4-6/32nds initially.
Got my RS2's today!
Holy cow round tires are sweet the car rides great! ::Afro::
I forgot to ask about tire shaving for ya Altiain, sorry.
Sweet! Now get out there and scrub'em in! :burnrubr:Quote:

Still like them?Quote:

Should I just see if DT will match the lowest online price or order them online and have BAM! install them for me?
I'm still quite fond of them. Don't think 195 to 205 is worth $47. Al Cavan at Coit & 190 has matched anything I've ever taken in.Quote:

A bit heavy compared to the T1-S you're replacing

The price keeps creeping up
Yep pretty much everything that Tailchaser said. At the track I thought they worked great.Quote:

Don't recall what tires are on the new Rims on Vivid's car but she want them to be replaced with RS2's at my earliest conveinene..... She misses her old RS2.::Curls::
I like them too. It seems as they have become louder over the life of the car. But the whole car has become louder lately. They seem to be easier to make the rear end step out too than I remember on my old MXs. I also have the 195s on a wider than OEM wheel and they look fine. They will provide more grip than anyone should need on the street.
