Default Where are the the tire deals?

Need tires asap. I saw a great deal on Continentals posted a while back but I'm sure it's dead. I don't track, just atlanta commuting.

My fronts are really worn on the insides. Almost to the wires. Got the USRS installed maybe 1000 miles ago. Was waiting on new tires for alignment. Starting to feel a lot of what I can only describe as "gritty" feedback in the wheel. Linda like if you were rubbing oil between your fingers but it had some sand in it. Is this due to the worn tires?

08 wheels
2 x 245/35/19
2 x 275/30/19

If you are willing to run the stock sizes during your commute, you can get all 4 Firestone Indy 500s for $475 and change. I would evaluate "feel" after the install and alignment.

I'd like to stick to the sizes I have now. I know it probably doesn't matter for me really but it feels better knowing i have a little more of an aggressive setup. Probably want to stick with a high performance all season too.

The Indy 500s are the best tire for the money.

They are def cheaper than Conti and Michelin. Any one have any experience with these in the southeast. We usually get a day or two of ice/ lite snow. Says N/A online. Guessing that is bad...

I live in South Florida where we get lots of rain and heat, these tires have been great for that weather. I have no input on ice, these are summer tires. We have year round summer here lol.

Hey, for the price, think of it as a one year commitment if you put 12k-15k per on your car. Try them, you may like them. I have found them to be more than adequate for my level of shenanigans in same/similar weather that you have yearly in ATL. Usually, people asking for "deals" are willing to make certain compromises. This is the only reason I suggested them. Furthermore, Firestone offers a "30 day Buy & Try" money back guarantee ( https://www.firestonetire.com/custom...es/buy-and-try ). If you don't like them, return them and then go and buy a more expensive tire.

About two months ago I got a really good deal on Conti DWS06 hi perf all seasons from Pep Boys, but only on certain sizes ($135/ea for 275/30R19 compared to $217 from Tire Rack). It looks like Pep Boys doesn't offer the DWS06 anymore. Must be why they were cheap...lol
I'm in Ohio...being in Georgia I would think you wouldn't need to go all season.

^^ Costco, more than likely will only do OEM specified (225/40 and 255/35) sizes.

Not true. I work for Costco and have had them up sizing tires on my oem wheels for years. Currently running 245/35 and 275/30 on stock 2009 wheels. With that said, I currently have a new set of BC Forged wheels in my living room that I won't let any of those guys near. Too many new employees out there and I keep hearing horror stories.
