Tire Help???

Can someone answer a question for me? I'm getting ready to get some new tires put on my car tomorow from discount tire. My question is, when I originally looked up the tires I was at discounttiredirect.com and the price for the falkens I'm getting was $91/tire. For whatever reason I went to discounttire.com and found they are $103/piece. Now, is it wrong to assume both discount tire direct and discount tire are the same company? Will discount tire meet the discount tire direct price or what?

Why don't you call and ask them. We don't work there. This should be in the wheels/tires section.

I obviously didn't mean for you to call now. I didn't think that part needed explaination. Sorry, but the question you asked sounds like something only the tire company could answer. Good luck.

I'm not looking for tires to autox my evo in, just for daily driving only. And by reading a few reviews on the tire, they all praise them for their grip in dry and wet weather..*shrug*

Because I don't autox my evo...there is one scca event around here that's a 30 minute drive away not even once a month, not worth it when I'm usually busy on the weekends anyways.
