Today call a local goodyear dealer give me that price, the guy says is 315.00 for tire but finally i get a 295.00 price. The good thing is there are 16 tires in stock and i only drive 5 min. to the shop. Plus 7 dolars each tire balace.
Good deal or what?
thanks guys :pepper: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper:

You can get the tires at Sam's for $232 a tire or Walmart for $236 a tire. I wouldn't have them install them but the tires are cheaper. You could buy them from there and have them installed by someone you trust. I just ordered some Nitto's myself. That's assuming you have one there.

I called Goodyear by me for a quote too. I got the same $315/tire crap. Hell for that price I'm definately buying Nittos...

Switch to the Toyo proxies....

Also, that's waaaaaay to high for F1's...I paid $180.00 a tire at Tire Kingdom. Do the TOYO's....you won't regret it!! I'm switching when i burn these off.

What ever you do dont get hankooks. I know some guys have them and love them but they are by far the worst tires i have ever out on the L. I have had three go out of round and the truck rides like hell cause they are so hard. Only good thing about them is they work great in the snow cause of the tread pattern.

Choices, by now im running toyos and by the way i pay 280.00 f. dollars each and believe me theres no way i can do better than 2.2 in my 60s. so im open to try another tire, but, 240.00 for 6 month tires like nittos(?) i think i go for slicks and put a 4 set of f1, i never tried cause i buy my truck with toyos.
A friend of my says if you dont have money to buy tires this is not your car, get a bicycle. jej jeee .

$160ish for the Toyo's and around $180.00 for the F1's from Tire Kingdom...anything else higher than that and you guys need to find better deals!!

$295 ea? Too much, especially for the F1s. They have the treadwear of a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. :lol: Toyos have damn good treadwear but don't hook worth a shit. If you gonna go racing get some drag radials. Toyos are good DD tires. But definitely shop around, I guess some of the tire suppliers think we are all a bunch of "money bags".
