I got my Falkens at www.discounttire.com at 50$ each
Delivery was free with no state tax. (Kind of odd to come home and find four tires sitting on your porch.)
Also there was a store near me that was recommended so the installation was 10$ a tire.

I've gone through about half a tank of gas on them so far and the mileage is slowly creeping up. Most of the replies I got mentioned that once the tires are broken in the mileage should be back to normal.

Like other posters, I too replaced my Integrety tires with the Goodyear ComforTred tires in the exact same size--185/65R-15 before the first 100 miles.

I bought mine from Discount Tire which charged $81 a tire and gave me a $40 trade credit for each tire.  Grand total came to $255 including Discount's free replacement warranty (optional).

They definitely make it work upgrading your tires!

Thanks for that, dvdirv, I went to Discount Tire and got the Triple Treds. There was a $50 rebate from Goodyear and they gave me $50 for each of my existing tires. I went with the replacement warranty for an extra $65 and the total was $325. I'm not sure yet if there is any difference in mileage with the new tires but they make the car feel and handle better. The tread design on these tires is really different which I think adds to the coolness factor of the car. Thanks again.
