Bottom line is you can't.
The only option is to find a local place that will match Tire Rack's price, and then spring a rebate or discount on them. For example, Discount/America's Tire sometimes runs a $100 off promotion. You gotta go in and feign ignorance, get them to match TR's price, and then surprise them with a rebate form. Fairly often doesn't work - but sometimes it does. :)
I own a lot of cars, buy a lot of tires. It's unusual to be able to beat TR's price by any significant amount. A few bucks at best. Not many shops get better prices than they do, and TR isn't selling at a big markup. There just isn't a lot of room in tires.
If you're flexible on the wheels or tires you want, sometimes you can find a closeout or something, but if you want a specific model, I'll go so far as to say TR is essentially unbeatable.
