Ordering direct from Specialized

So is ordering tires or other stuff direct from Specialized good, bad, or evil? Specialized seems to offer some great deals on closeout items plus lower than Lbs prices on other items. I'm in need of tires and they have them for $26 each plus $8.25 for two day shipping, the same tire is $42 each at a Lbs. So is Specialized screwing their dealers by marking products down lower than wholesale to clear out old stock, or do the shops just choose not to mark stuff down at the end of the season/model run?
