Default Any Good online sites to buy supplies??? (like items in 60k post) plus other ?'s

I have done some of the discomike 60K service but I couldn't do it all as my local auto parts store is garbage and didn't have all of the stuff. Any recommendations for a good site that sells all/most of those items?

Also any recommendations for best wiper blades? My fronts are fine but my rear blade is pitiful.

Any thoughts on Toyo Open Country M/T tires? The tires on my discovery are like race car tires haha (very aggressive looking racing tread). They are brand new and I'd like to use them for road use and have a spare set for the trails. I'm pretty sure the tires I have are what comes on a Cayenne GT. If the Toyos are no good any recs on off-road tires (will not use them for road use).

TIA

Picked up both front wipers and rear wipers through atlantic british. they sell many replacement parts, and since I'm in New York I get the parts the following day. i picked up the air filter through the dealer. I heard the after market filters tend not to fit as well, and for an extra few bucks didn't want to jam an odd fitting filter in. I found all the 60k supplies at my local auto stores. I used three of them. Auto zone, advanced auto and a local place Colvin who ordered my tranny filter kit and serpentine belt. Couldn't find synthetic power steering fluid anywhere though.

The local advanced had synthetic power steering fluid but that was about all they had. Also the K&N filter fit perfectly. If I could I'd like to order it all online.

Try apexperformance.com for the magnecore 8mm's, they were the least expensive when I ordered. Roversnorth.com is comparable to AB

Make that http://www.apexperformance.net ... I needed to order the Magnacore as well, and they are $85.90 for the 8mm (DII). The shipping was a little above average, but $15 is not bad...

Cheers!

Just ordered them... At the end they gave me a coupon code for the next purchase:

Enter PROMO CODE: APEX-WINS-10 to SAVE 10% ON YOUR NEXT ORDER of $50 or more
With that you can get them for under $80!

Good tip on the promo code, but when I ordered my Magnecor's they wouldn't let me use the code...said they were already marked down enough. I agree, they sell them at a sweet price!!!

Back to the original question, why order on line for any of the stuff necessary for a 60 K, except for the plug wires, why pay all that freight.
