I recently investigated tirerack and other online distributors, then checked with the local chains. I found a local regional chain (nyc area) that had my Dunlop A2s at $99 each mounted and balanced, tirerack was $89 each and roughly $8 shipping. Even ignoring the hassle of sweating the delivery and finding an indie to mount them, the sales tax was the same or less to mount them, so I bought locally. In and out in 45 minutes and I'm done. May have been lucky and caught a sale as other local chains were $20-$30 more per tire.
Do your research on local chains, if you have a problem its easier to resolve it locally.
