Tire-Rack will ship anywhere and then you can have a shop mount and balance them or find a local tire shop based on recommendations. For street driving, I don't think it makes as big a difference because it is the thick tread you're after vs. tread and the tire being able to hold up to off-road abuse.
I checked prices on Tire-rack, but with the cost of shipping added in I was able to find similar prices locally.

Is there a number on a tire that tells the tread thickness?
I won't be off-roading but with the snow and long commute I do need good traction.
