When will this price change go into effect? I priced out a set of similar tires and rims from a competetor's rack, and they were $400 cheaper including their shipping charge...(The exact same pair of tires were $26 more per tire at Discount..)

All pricing was changed on the 20th. Let me look into this a little deeper for you. What was the product you were interested in and what is your zip code?

You will have to pay sales tax since you are a resident of TX. Unfortunately there is no way around that. I'm coming up with a total delivered price of $639.82. $48.76 of the total price is sales tax.
Who was it that had our price beat?

Nah, even with the shipping deducted, and not counting tax, the tires are still ~$5 more than here...

There's no direct cross on rims, I was looking at a cheap set of 5 or 6 spoke gunmetal rims. I found many sets of rims that were cheaper than anything discount carries.

From discount, with just the tires and the roadhazard I get the following final price:

Total "Out the Door" Price $901.51


From Tirerack, the 4 tires and roadhazard is:

Grand Total: $685.74



Aparently, I'll have to go to discount tire to get these tires...tirerack will ship them right to my door. That's $225 more and I have to go pick them up.

We certainly have a break down in communication. I have a feeling you are referring to the local Discount Tire Store. Their price very well could be higher. I am with Discount Tire Direct. We are designed to compete with on-line companies like the Tire Rack. My price delivered to your door with road hazard and sales tax is $727.82.
Details:Kumho Ecsta ASX
The local stores also would like your business. You should ask them to match our price before tax, which would be $679.06 including the road hazard coverage. Also, they will mount and balance your tires for just $19.99 a tire. With this installation price, you will get valve stems, lifetime balance/rotation, and free flat repair.

i thought mounting and balancing was $13.00 a tire? I work at txh_66 as an apprentice tech, and havent seen the labor prices that high, ever, especially if you buy the tires from discount tire company.
