Come to think of it would that be a possible opportunity to get Vulcan Tire to give us kickbacks if we routed people their way?

They seem to be the bigger Falken Tire supplier.

Actually, if you check around, you can get them cheaper than Vulcan. The Charlotte Mazda dealer got me a set for the Miata that were $5 a tire cheaper than Vulcan. Yes, there was tax, but no shipping so it was a wash on that.

Plus it helps that one of the parts managers there is a CCR member :)

Discount Tire also sell Falken Check their website price first before going to store, make sure you're getting the same price before they write up the sale.

Why not go to Hubcap Heaven or another Club supporter for the Falkens? Pricing would probably be about the same as on-line.

We already get a deal on mounting and balancing from our supporters. It makes sense to at least give them a call to get a price on the tires so they can make a few bucks.

my $.02 worth

I got a set of 205/50/15's for $276 no tax, no shipping. :wink: It always helps to know someone in the business. 8)

Let me know if you can get another set at that price.
