Anyone buying tires from Amazon?
After 15+ years buying exclusively from Tire Rack I'm ready to buy my first set of tires from Amazon. I have 4 cars, 3 of which end up on the track at least twice per year. Plus I live in the Midwest so I have snow tires. Bottom line is a buy lots of tires. I've been very happy with tire rack but at the end of the day I buy because of price and they have always been the lowest.
My X1 is ready for a new set of tires and I just discovered that my preferred tire is $10/tire cheaper at Amazon. Add in free shipping with Prime and 5% cash back through my Amazon credit card and my savings is about $50 ($670 vs $720). Anyone bought tires from Amazon? Curious on the experience.

One of the upsides to TR is that they will mount and balance for you too (assuming you buy wheels). I have an autox friend who thinks most tire shops are hacks when it comes to balancing...
I've been looking around for a source for Nokians, and Amazon doesn't seem to carry them in a size I'd want, sadly. They are listed on there, but through 3rd party sellers and not "fulfilled by Amazon" which is what matters most to me.
