Where do you get your car tires from?

I was just at a service center for my Toyota and was told for the first time (despite bringing my car to another Toyota service center several times in the past three years) that three of my tires are top of the line (through none of my own doing... apparently the previous owner had a nice-size wallet) while one of them is a no-name brand tire and is the complete wrong size for my car.  On top of that, all four tires need to be changed anyway because they barely have any tread left (I knew this just from looking at them, but I was hoping to delay the inevitable for as long as possible).

The service center gave me a couple options in different price ranges depending on the tire, and all include the 4 tires, installation, 24-month road hazard, and lifetime complimentary rotations. 

However, I'm wondering if I could get some better prices on decent quality tires elsewhere.  I'm thinking Costco, Sears, etc.

Any suggestions?  Where do you all get your tires from? 

PS - I know there are some good prices out there on "gently used" tires, but I'd really prefer a set of new ones.

    I've always gotten mine from Sears - my dad has a "tire" guy that he used for his work truck tires, and even the discounted prices he gave my dad for my car were more than the price Sears had. I've bought tires at Sears for two different cars now over the years, and haven't had any problems at all. I always replace my tires with the same tires that came with the car new.

    The last time I needed tires I went to the Mavis near work and got a good deal.  My husband got his tires at BJ's one time too.     I would ask around and see where you can get the best deal, tires can be very expensive

    We always get ours from either STS, Cooper Tire or Vespias. FI recently got one from Vespias and said it was the best price he could find...I'm thinking the dealership is going to be the most expensive..

    Tire rack.  I have them delivered to my home and bring them to a local shop for installation and balancing.

    Sears... Going to the dealership would murder my wallet.  Dealerships always overcharge.

    I had to buy tires for my car a couple of months ago and I searched around everywhere just to find out that the local Honda dealer I go to gave me the best price. Everyone says that the dealer is more expensive but when I went to sears they were charging me more than Honda. I think each dealerships charges different prices so you may want call around. Also I used tirerack.com just to see which tires are recommended for my car based on the performance I wanted out of them.
