2 highly rated but cheap tires I can choose from: Yokohama Avid Touring or BF Goodrich Traction T/A H.
Tirerack.com doesn't have the latter in stock at the moment, so if I went with them I'd get the Yokohamas so I wouldn't have to wait. ($46 tire + $20 installation)*4 + $30 shpping = $294
Sam's Club has the BF Goodrich tires (and not the Yokohamas), though they'd have to be special ordered and shipped to my nearest store. I am not currently a member. $59*4 + $35 membership = $271 (installation and lifetime rotation and stuff are free, right)?
What would YOU do? Does Sam's Club have some horrible tire installation reputation I should know about? It would be easier to find a Sam's Club for warranty work and rotations...
