New or used?
My friends look in the dumpster of small tire shops, and steal them at night after a drift event.
New: Buy them online. Tirerack.com and Discounttiredirect.com always have the best price. I prefer to use both. tirerack charges shipping ($5 per tire) more, while discount shipping is included in the price.
Used: Ive used AKA Tires on ulmerton near the airport, next door to Enhanced Concepts. They usually have 205-225 in stock off of bimmers. they charge $30 per a tire. If you spend $30 more per a tire, you can get brand new tires.
If you buy them online, and need them mounted and balanced, i have a friend on Haines road that does them for like $10 per a tire, while everyone else is charging $12. I think its called Danh Tires. They also have used tires too, so might want to check what he stock up on.

Yep. Germans. They used to have a big warehouse there full of used tires.
They are just next building over from some nasty chinese resturant. Near the airport.

www.edgeracing.com for new tires, i like thier prices and when they ship them UPS you get them practically the next day because they are in Miami. My total shipped for Azeni's and having them mounted on my car is cheaper then buying them locally.
Advanced Tire over by Raymond James Stadium has good used tires at good $'s as well thier number is 813 868 1100

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
