I just replaced my 5+ year old Marathons with Goodyear Endurance tires and wanted to share how I saved some $$$. I ordered the tires directly from the Goodyear website. They shipped the tires free to my regular independent tire dealer. There were plenty of shops in my area to choose from. I then spotted a price match guarantee on Goodyear's site and quickly found another site selling them for about $20 less per tire. I jumped on a chat session and gave them the link. A few minutes later they came back with an okay. They just wanted to make sure it was a valid in-stock offer. They didn't even consider the other site's freight charges. We wrote up the whole order in a chat session (including credit card info over a secure message app). Coming directly from the Goodyear warehouse, the tires had 20/17 codes.

Price match + free freight + fresh tires = a win in my book.
