I've tried discount tire, Firestone, good year, and random local shops.
In the end, I can go to my local ford dealer (Ballentine) and tell them to order what I want, and they match any price I can find. I just bought 4 toyo open country a/t tires (standard 275/65-20 size) for $250ea. They balance them fine and are perfectly happy to re balance them if I'm not happy.
IMHO, the more business you do with your dealer, the better the relationship, better deals on everything.

I don't know about warranty, either mileage or hazard. I've never had a tire problem I couldn't fix and I drive so much I need new tires every 12 months. Sorry.
I think discount tire is a good store too and I know they have warranty.
The warranty is with the tire, not the dealership. The dealership will honor the warranty.
I buy my tires from the Ford dealer. They beat any and all prices around, no questions asked, but they are normally less expensive up front without the need to match.
