I talked to Mark a few days ago about it.  He does indeed get wholesale 
pricing from the 'Rack, but they are only sometimes willing to 
drop-ship.  Therefore, you get slammed twice for the shipping, and it 
becomes not worth it.

For me, and I think many of you will agree, I would order through Mark even 
if I didn't save on it -- just to make sure that he gets my business... and 
can hopefully make a few bucks on it,  But the tires I wanted to order 
would have cost me a bit more through him, so he recommended going directly 
to Tire Rack myself.

My suggestion would be to drop him a quick E-Mail and see if he can have 
them drop shipped to you.  E-Mail is the best so he doesn't have to drop 
what he's doing to call them, because there is some chance that he won't be 
able to get them for you at the same price, unfortunately.

Long Live Mark!
Jason :)
