I doubt they'll ship tires.  They're a national chain and they have a separate mail order (well, internet order) side of the business: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/

Unfortunately, they seem to only have the Kumhos available at the brick and mortar stores, and I see that there are none in New York.  Time to make a road trip, maybe? :)

I ended up ordering some Nexens for the Variant.  I still haven't been able to find out much about them, and I don't have the highest of hopes, but they're bound to be better than the ancient tires it's currently sitting on.
