Just get the Service Advisor to knock off the Shop Supplies/Hazmat charge and you really do save big money.

Toyota what? The Dealership? In BR?

I can just ask them to knock off the Hazmat and they will? I'm not afraid to ask for a bargain.

When it comes to things like tires, I'll go a long way to save a nickel.

I’ve never had a problem with tires. I’d stay away from extremely cheap. I’ve always had success with tire rack.com

I've purchased tires at Sams. Been convenient in the past.
But, for some dumb reason, some of their tire centers are still closed due to Covid

Mastercraft is the best value to me. I ran Mastercraft Coursers on my old truck.

My wife has some Kumho Crugens, she got 75,000 miles on her first set and has 60,000 miles on this set.... they about to ready to be replaced though.

If you’re not getting your tires from McDonalds tire in Baton Rouge on FlorIda Blvd at Sharp Rd., you are over paying.

I got some Mastercraft tires at a Best One tire place in Alabama. Those have been great, long lasting tires on my Yukon.

But, I usually buy online at tire rack or discount tire and have Pep Boys here mount and balance.

Mine came with Hankook tires. There's no way I'll get 93k out of them though. Maybe 50.

My experience as well. Those tires are terrible. Just okay on road and useless off.

I usually use them but I don't know about bringing my car to them for my next set of tires. I want someone that isn't going to go anywhere near it with a impact and actually uses a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the wheels on. My factory wheels cost a fortune and if I were to replace the tires with what the factory installed I'd be looking at over $2k from the cheapest I can find.

Most people don’t drive exotic 300’s with run-flats either where a calibrated torque wrench matters.

But for regular folks, McDonalds does a very cost efficient tire job.

The original set of tires is always the best tires any of my cars ever experience. I had a Dodge Avenger in the 90’s and I remember asking for an original to be replaced with OEM and it was $260 in 1997 for one f’n tire.

No thanks, that’s when I discovered Cooper tires.
