Call around...

I have used tire rack, sears, town faire, BJ's, dealer, etc...

The sears, town fair, etc WILL deal on the cost of the tires installed... Call some places to get ideas then try to work with them...

Your best bet is honestly to find someone local. I got mine from tirerack.com (245/40/18 front, 285/35/18 rear) and it ended up costing me $100 to have them mounted and balanced locally. That was the cheapest I could find after making ~10-15 calls to different shops.

im a tirerack fan. ive ordered 3 sets from there and never had a problem. the shipping is what hurts at around $60. so yea, you are right about trying to find someone local and save on the shipping. problem is seems like most local shops dont have access to alot of different distributors so the tire cost itself is quite a bit higher than tireracks

I've got Nexen N3000's (from ebay). The widest tire they (the seller is tiresfast) have in 18 is a 275/35. They don't list sets of 275/35/18s on their sellers page, but it's a possibility.

They are actually pretty good tires, plus they're cheap!
