But is a necessary evil. Do you have a brand you prefer? Where do you buy them?

So you get them shipped to you and still save money? Who installs them for you?

I'm not sure about that one. I've actually never owned a car. Discount Tire in Pville always has good prices if you are in the BR area

Discount Tire is where I've gone in the past. They are everywhere.

Wait for a sale on Michelins at Costco and free install and road hazard.

I buy them at a little shop in the berry on main St. The prices are low and whatever price he gives you is exactly what you are charged, no hidden fees.

Research tire you want. Find lowest price. Get Discount Tire to price match.

I just did this and saved $200.

Discount tire direct. Ship to your house. Take to any tire dealer $12 a tire to mount and balance and put them on. I have used them and tirerack for 20 years. Save about $40 a tire that way. Have sumitomo htrzs on my jaguar now. Smooth z rated tires. Also Pirellis ride great.

Discount Tire is awesome.

Had a set of tires targeted for my wife's SUV last May. The guy at Discount Tire couldn't find them in the warehouse. It was a busy Saturday morning, so he gave me a set of higher rated Yokohamas for the same price in order to not have customers waiting for him to find the other set.

The last three sets of tires I've bought have been from Discount Tire, and I have yet to have a bad experience there.

If you go to Discount Tire, make an appointment online and you’ll get serviced faster than walk-ins. If you bought your last set of tires from Discount Tire, ask if they’ll give you any mileage credit towards the new tires.

DT is awesome.

I stick with Michelin, GoodYear, BF Goodrich, the cheaper discount brands I have tried don't last as long, and they don't seem to perform as well.

Every time I go to Brian Harris it’s seemingly time for a new set. I try to run them to treads...but “fortunately” BR infrastructure always plants a nail in my plans.
