I buy tires on line, as I do other gear. I also frequent my LBS as much as possible. We have a Bike Expo here in the Charlotte area once a year. Dealers, teams, vendors, and individuals pay a nominal cost for a table or two and present their wares. It costs a dollar or two to gain entry, but the deals are plentiful. This year I bought 9 Conti GP 3000 clinchers for 90 bucks.
