    Anyone know of a tireshop/vendor that carries Dunlop Direzza z1 star specs (245 40 18) locally in GA? Or is this a case where i just bite the bullet and go with tirerack?

    Trying to get a price comparison from online and local, not really sure if I save anything after the shipping cost.

    Almost anyone in GA can get the tires. Most places will honor the tire rack shipped price.

    you have to get them from tirerack.com or have a vendor get them from tirerack.com. They just signed a deal with Goodyear for the star specs.

    edit: of course this happened not too long ago, so it is possible that someone has them in a warehouse still. but most places I called didn't

    Ah, thanks guys, guess I'll print out tirerack's quote and hit up the tire shops near me, and see what happens. Worse case scenario I quit drinking the iwsti forum juice and get a different tire :p

    Kieran at GTE use to honor the Tirerack prices but I dont know if he still does or only does it for certain people. He is out today but I can give him a call tomorrow if you want me to.

    Will do...I have known Kieran since I was 5 so I know all of his little quirks. He can be an ahole to people or come across that way if you dont really know him. I will give him a ring or stop there tomorrow. I owe him some beer anyway.

    Any chance you got to speak with Kieran? Not trying to be pushy or anything, just thinking I'm going to be price shopping this weekend in hopes of pulling the trigger sometime next week.

    Sorry, go ahead and call him. He said he can match Tire Rack's prices with shipping.

    Just make sure that you mention my name to him so he isnt a dick to you:)

    mentioning your name is more reason to be a dick to anyone.
