You might try Discount tire or 4wheel parts. Both places are probably around your location. If not both than atleast one. 4wheel parts, if you buy rims from them as well as tires you can have them mounted and balanced so when they arrive they are all ready to go. Discount tire has good customer service and the people there are knowledgeable and if they can't beat the price they will atleast match it.
 
Discount tire is great they always hook me up gave a good instant rebate for just calling and can't beat their no question tire replacement If you get a flat I know I called and in two min they said alright we will ship it today and that was it got a new tire.
 
Don't be afraid to pit a few local places against eachother and against their internet counterparts. Many nationwide tire retail stores have price match, and price match plus, policies. Spend some time shopping around online and print out the lowest prices you can find, excluding sites like ebay and amazon, as most local tire stores will only match prices from actual online retailers. Also, don't forget to INCLUDE shipping costs in your printouts, as they will have to be factored into the overall price for them to match it. Then bring your printouts to a few different local tire stores. Some will not only match the price, but also offer an additional 3-5% off! It can be a bit more of a time consuming process, but you can get some killer deals this way. I have scored my last 2 sets of tires at amazing prices doing this. Another bonus is that most local tire shops will give you a free mount/balance and, if you're lucky, free tire rotations for life with your purchase. Best of luck!

I've found that discounttiredirect has an eBay store and will beat the other discount tire website offers. Its been 1.5 years since I used them. Not sure if still on ebay.
 
Sometimes, it is worth going to local tire shops. They will try to beat the prices online most of the time. And if you encounter any problems, you can easily contact them.
 
You might check around locally as far as mounting and balancing of the tires if you buy offline. Most places around me will charge roughly $10 per tire to mount and balance if you don't buy tires through them. So its something to also think about.
 
My local Discount Tire always tries to meet the prices I find online and their customer service is outstanding so I just price check then call them and make arrangements.
