Expensive tires

[Slow Ride]

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.

hmmm - I think my stockers might be the EL400-02's

It might be worth upgrading, but how much???

I looked on Tire rack and Discount. Both had the same prices. I can get stock replacements for $173 a piece. I can get the yokohamas for $212 a piece. The issue I have is the places locally want to rape me in the ass to have them installed. Matthews is a recommended installer on tire rack and Van Zeelands on discount, but when I called them for a quote telling them I had the price on the website right in front of me they said "yes we get them from there"???? How in the hell does that work?

212 x 4 = 848
46 for shipping
say 4 x 4 for disposal
say 20 x 4 for mounting/balancing
say 5 x 4 for metal valve stems

that comes out to $1010, still a ****load for god damned tires, but the quote was $1250

hell even for stockers the best quote was $910
