I have a 65 Dart GT, it's got the stock wheels on it, I just wanna find a site to buy tires from. I wanna throw some white walls/white stripe tires on it. Nothing fancy this is just a driver, not a racing car.
IMHO, try to support your local tire guy. That way, he'll still be there when you need him.
The local guy can't keep his doors open by just mounting tires people buy on line. He makes $$ on the tires too. If he's off by a few dollars, give him the business. If he's off by a lot, tell him and see if he'll adjust his price.
I guess I'm just saying to look at the *bigger* picture. If he's close, give him the benefit of your business. If he won't move and he's way off, then do what you have to do....
Just my $.02
