They are located out of state, so there is no tax. You only pay shipping.

They handle lots of volume, so their prices are usually very good.

I always buy my tires at Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct. Both place always have a compettitive price. Good thing is both of them are located within a mile from my office. So I can pick up the tires right away no shipping charge only sale tax.

As was said by mmgrad, businesses are responsible for collecting sales tax on sales in states in which they have a business presence. A "presence" usually means that they are registered to do business in that state, or have payroll or assets in that state. No presence, no responsibility for collections.

However, you're responsible for paying use tax on those purchases that you don't pay sales tax. Of course, this is on an honor basis, which is why states receive almost no use tax from individuals (corp's are subject to audits, which is why they have to be more honest about purchases).
