I too am interested in a good place to find tires around here. After having my tires spin too many times in the ice, i think it's time to get some new ones.

I think ice does that to tires regardless...

I got my last set at Big O Tires (not in Rolla though... although there is one here). Idk about being super cheap, but they'll give you a pretty good deal. I had to get high performance low-profiles and it was a really good price for them, so I'm guessing they'd be good on cheaper tires too. The thing I liked best was the warranty they offer if you buy new tires from them. You get free rotation/balance every 5000 miles for the life of the tire. They also have a deal on flat repairs, I don't remember, but I think that might be free as well. They also have a deal that they'll give you a new tire if the flat is unfixable within the normal life of the tire. Their service/staff was nice to work with, not a pain in the butt at all. Another great thing is you can get service from any of their stores across the nation.. which is nice when you live at home sometimes and at college sometimes....
You might check out Firestone, they sell used tires. You know the average consumer, they need one tire but end up buying all 4 unnecessarily. Their used tires are usually 15-20 bucks, depending on the amount of tread left and should get you through the winter... if they have your tire size.

Talk to the techs in a dealership repair shop. They usually have some used tires that they are sending off, but it costs them money per tire to do so. They will set out what you want if you ask for it and if they have it, but you have to come pick them up after hours.
Keep in mind, these are used tires, so if you want brand new ones, I recommend Big O. They aren't the cheapest, but their service is great and the tires are the best I've ever had.
