Want free shipping? Order the tires from Summit Racing. They drop ship from Coker and don't charge you for shipping.

Holy crap I had never thought of that..I may do that soon. I've put off white walls because of the shipping costs

When I learned about summit, I was mad! I ordered direct from Coker, but had Coker bring them to the Portland Swap Meet (they'll bring them to some shows free of charge), but I had to wait MONTHS for my tires. Turns out I could've just ordered from summit. Oh well..... Humility.

Depending on the state you're in, if they bring them to a swap meet or show you might have to pay sales tax. If that's the case, you're better off having them delivered for nothing.

I'm in Oregon (no sales tax), so at least I dodged that... Definitely a consideration in sales tax states for sure!

| Ummm... When I worked for Discount Tire we would special order these things all the time! Don't forget that it doesn't matter if you get them from Summit or Diamonback you still have to pay someone to mount and balance them. |
