I'd choose a brick and mortar store with a reasonable price and good reputation and just do it. You can buy tires online for a great price but usually it's a wash when you take them anywhere for mounting and balancing. I read here on Moparts the white lettering on the TA Radials turn brown shortly after washing off the blue coating. The brown discoloration evidently does not wash away. Thats a shame because I think TA Radials look the best. Cooper makes RWL tires and some lesser known choices are, Mastercraft, Galaxy and Milestar
Keep old mopars alive.

Our local farm store often runs sales on tires where if you buy 3 you get one tire is "free". They offer several different brands. When the sale is going on, their prices have beaten all the online discount outlets and its a local brick and mortem building. As one would expect, when they have a tire sale, the place is swamped. You go in, order and pay for your tires and whe3n they come in, you make an appointment to get them mounted and balanced, which may be as much as a couple weeks later.
I don't do raised letter tires, and seldom do whitewalls. My rides are a 48 Plymouth coupe, a 49 Dodge pickup, and an 04 PT Cruiser. The coupe has Hankook tires on it and the truck has Good Year Trailblazers on it. I have no ides what brand is on the PT, and its not here right now. I have been pretty impressed with the Hankook tires. I buy my tires based on thread pattern and traction control since what is on the sidewalls is not important to me. We usually wear the tires out (I don't run them until they are bald) and it seems like I'm buying a set of 4 tires for something about every other year. Before next winter, the PT will get tires. The truck tires were new in 2022. The coupe may be on the last set of tires I'm buying for it.

Whatever you do pick an installer that won't damage your wheels. This is 2024 and there is a worker shortage. Those that do show up for work often are not skilled.

M/T Sportsman S/T radials are made by Cooper, and I think they are a better performing white letter tire than the Cobra and the Radial T/A.. They do cost more though. No 14". ![whiney whiney](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/whiney.gif)

you might also check to see if there is a military base near you. you are allowed to shop at the exchange there for a few years. Looking at the AAFES site now.
