Hi guys,
Do you know who sells Bridgestone Potenza S03 tires for the best price?
I am willing to drive to any dealer between Vancouver, BC and Beaverton, OR.
Please let me know.

Go to Tirerack and print out the page with the total price before shipping. Then take that page to the America's Tire/Discount Tire store and they will match the quote - with no shipping charges. That way you can save some $$ on delivery. You may try the same trick with your other local shops...:dunno
Tirerack so far has the best S-03 rates as I have seen.

I tried that once already, and they told me that they would not match tireracks prices because they were an online dealer! Does your local shop in Eugene do this for you?

I've been doing all my business with Beggs Tire, in Corvalis, 541-754-8473, for several years now. I recently got my 255/35-18 S03s from him. He charged me about $25 or $30 per tire more than Tirerack. But, that included shipping, mounting and lifetime balance. Plus they are very, very careful with my wheels.
I highly recommend them. I drive 3 hours each way to do business with them. Luke Beggs is who I deal with.

Yes, they do that in Eugene. But they add on top of that installation/balancing/rotation. My friend just ordered a set of Kumho MX for $106 installed. They are $93 a piece at the 'Rack. Tirerack charges $40 to have the set shipped. Then you will have to pay another $40 for installation...

If you have a sec, could you pm me with the phone number to that tire shop in Eugene? I head down there on occasion, and would not mind the trip if it meant I would save that much cash on tires! thanks!

Too bad you weren't near Wenatchee WA. I could have my dad hook you up with those tires. He owns the TIRE FACTORY in Wenatchee. I could of put in a word for a good deal. Oh well. Goo luck. By the way, Vancouver B.C. rocks. I was there for new years.

its about 4 hours. I don't how bad you need tires but the best time to come to wenatchee would be the first week of May. We have a festival called Apple Blossom. Its like a mini mardi-gra. Big party and everyone brings there car to cruise our avenue. Anyways, I could put in a word for you to my dad if you need some tires.

Thanks for the offer! I might need tires before my next trip up that way, but if not, I might take you up on that!
