If you don't have a really good independent tire dealer near where you live (one you can trust), there are two options I'd use myself.
One is Discount Tire and the other is Tire Rack. Tire rack is an online source that has a network of dealers they use for installation. Buy your tires and they will ship to the nearby dealer who'll finish the task.
BTW, I spent my career working in a tire company corporate office and both of these companies were major competitors. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from either and wouldn't go near any of the stores that flew the corporate flag where I used to work. That company has been sold twice since I left and it's not the same company. You can get pretty much any tire you want from either, their prices aren't bad, and you have someone to contact anywhere in the country if you have a problem.
Big Brand Company Stores have great tires but the prices they charge are often premium.
I read a saying on an old tire dealer (and friend) reader board that is so true. "It's not how much you pay, it's how often you have to pay it".
In you quest for new tires, don't chase "cheap" but look for best quality as installed on your vehicle. That last part is in the hands of the people who install the tire. I could write a very thick book on all the ways a tire installer can cause problems with otherwise excellent tires during the installation process. That's why I emphasize that people also take the Dealer into consideration rather than just price.
