not sure where you are located, but Town Fair tire is a good place to buy tires in the New England areas. They'll price match their competitors including online stores like tirerack. If you are buying winter tires, Hogan Tires are having a promotion where if there isn't 12 feet of snow this season, your tires are free.

i have bought tires from pep boys before

be ready to say "no" a lot ... pep boys will try and upsell you

as soon as they get the wheels off, they will call you back to the counter to tell you you need brake pads and rotors ...

"you need an oil change" "you need an air filter" etc etc etc

be sure to strongly state that the mechanics are installing new tires and nothing else ...

This is a mass generalization -- but I have never had good experience with Pep boys and mounting tires (scratched rims etc..) As for your size etc... 15 inch tires are pretty common...just call them or go to their website and you should be able to tell if they carry what you want.

I wouldn't expect some crazy deals (even with Black Friday). There is always some sort of a catch..ie: store brand tires only or ONLY 14" tires. This is no different than any other black friday deal -- the whole store won't be on sale, just specific sizes.
