Yeah.  I got my Hankooks at Discount, too.  My brother-in-law is a store
manager, so I only rarely look at the prices.

|Subject: Hankook RA08 tires
|
|I went into my local Discount Tire a few weeks ago and asked for the
|price of Yokohama 356 tires. The guy quoted me $120 each. So I checked
|around and finally decided to go with a set of the Hankook tires that
|Bus Depot sells, which were $75 plus $20 shipping each. When I took
|them into the Discount Tire for mounting and balancing, the guy told
|me I could have gotten them from him for $70 and no shipping. Tax
|would have been $6.30 per tire.
|
|I like giving Bus Depot business, and I basically broke even on the
|actual cost per tire. But I gave $80 to Fedex ground that I wish I
|hadn't.
