I searched the forum here and I can't seem to find a site where I can buy these tires? Did I miss something or do websites not carry the tires until it snows so you have to choose the overnight option and spend even MORE money?

Bike Stop has some pretty good prices on them.

Note: They wait for the charge to clear on your card before shipping, rather than shipping on an approval code.
I bought mine last year at Speedgoat.

don't they have local bike shops in Albany? any shop that orders from QBP would be more than happy to order some Nokians for you.

I'll be honest, I didn't think about checking local shops. I've had some bad experiences at a couple and I guess I'm soured. I will make some calls though.
