HOLY CRAP!!!! the tires for the wife's a car are expensive.
Anyone know of cheaper tire places that won't want my first born?
The size is P245/50R18
The original tires are Bridgestone Turanza's. best price I found was $1144. The tires lasted 72,000 miles, but were not the greatest in the snow and slop. Bridgestone makes a lower level tire that goes for $910 a set, but the treadwear is pretty low.
From what I've read the Michelins($1226) suck in the snow. Toyo's($1030) take around 3-4 weeks to get here from Japan. Dunlap Sport Max's($1300) are discontinued.
I like the Yokohama Advan S4, but the best price I found was $1250 + tax.
DAMN!!! I should have been putting away $25 a month just for tires.
