what's the exact tires they are quoting you? and what is the tire size?

Tire Rack and Discount have always been good for me.

you can have them quote you on a set of Falken 452's if you want to save another 100 bucks or so.I am very very happy with the road noise level and grip that these tires provide. The nitto invo is another solid tire that is easy on the wallet

i too may need to replace a tire. but i hope just one of course because it may have an unfixable flat. i currently have what i think are the stock dunlop 5000s. in addition to a little nail i see a cut/crack on the side of the tire.... no good right? if this is the case MUST I replace the tire with the same exact type/model?

also, for later on, which is the best tire under $150 per to get? I don't realy care for run flats.

Not sure that tires would be something I'd be willing to take the lowest bid on. Buy good tires for your $50K car....or not...it's your life.

costco is the best bet i think if you get all 4 tires. they give you warranty, inflate it with nitrogen for free, and rotation and fixes are all free after that for the life of the tire. just my 2 cents.


i got 19s pilot sport a/s+ for $1361 for all 4 with everything

Don't buy anything cheaper than Yoko S-Drive ($900-1000). A lot of people agree that it is the best budget tire around.
