TireRack.com price worse than local shop

[darxus]

Cost for four new tires from TireRack + shipping + install by local shop highly rated by TireRack: $662.42

Cost for the same tires from and installed by (different) local shop highly rated by Angie's List: $599.20.
($541.24 for tires, $57.96 for install.)

I'm pretty darn surprised the Tire Rack option is 10.6% more expensive than the local shop option.

I'm getting Michelin Primacy MXV4 (Grand Touring All-Season) (H rated) tires, because they're highly rated on TireRack.

if you get a nail or wire or such in your tyre, M&L can repair it for $15-20, just stop by. that's awesome. same for if you have a bad tire stem, they have a cool trick for that too (no dismount)...

and their a nokian dealer, so, if you need that, there you go. i might have to get some myself if the Winter futures actually, you know, are Wintery again.
