Shopping for tires

**Roger T. Bannon** · 07-21-21, 03:39 PM

Depends on the tire. You have to do your research on the brands. It is like anything else, you can get a good deal on a brand that a major tire maker produces under another name or a Japanese tire. Find out what they have to offer and then figure out which is the best value for the money. You can probably get a pretty good price on a major brand.

Walmart Sells Continental tires. Very serviceable and a great tire for the price. More then adequate for the amount of miles you drive.

You do realize the guy might actually need new tires right?

Not worth $40 to patch a cheap tire that has less than 50% tread left. Not sure if anybody even still plugs tires, most shops have moved on to liquid patches and melting it into place

I just had a Michelin with only 5K on it plugged for my 4matic Mercedes.

Do you have "SUCKER" stamped on your forehead?

Yeah don’t mess with tires. Hydroplaned and Totaled my car once on highway in the rain after thinking a mechanic was just trying to get more money out of me when he recommended I need new tires. Thank god no other cars were around

**HockeyRocks** · 07-21-21, 08:05 PM

Just put Michelin on your car and you will feel safe for years.

**Ryermkd** · 07-21-21, 08:14 PM

Good hope you run over a few more, anyone over 50... ought to have a few "nails" every now and then to wake them up

I swear to fkn god I'm not happy with my life, but I'm not allowed to use my skills, not allowed to get "excited"

Dare I say anger...

I don't think this girl is bluffing, she's a marketer... I'm not that brave though...

Ran over nail last night. 4WD. Les Schwab said I need all 4 tires replaced. Quoted like $600 for their budget tire. Called Walmart and they said $350-400 installed depending which brand tire I go with.

Anyone go with a cheaper tire from walmart? I only drive about 5 or 6k miles a year. City and Highway, sometimes rain, mostly sunny weather. Wondering if its fine for my driving habits.

What area are you in?

LMAO - dudes driving luxury cars with bald tires is a classic broke dik move. Let me guess, no need to change the oil since its leaking a quart a month right?

Rock on Player!

Everyone giving tire advice and nobody knows what vehicle its for…seems legit

**Optional** · 07-22-21, 11:26 PM

Nothing more important than tires.

for 200 bucks difference over 2 or 3 years, not worth even looking at the prices. Just buy the best ones you can find for the car.

**Buena Onda** · 07-22-21, 11:28 PM

Just heard tonight that tires (rubber) is expected to rise dramatically in the very near future, so whatever you decide, you better decide soon!

Saw this and went out and bought $20K of condoms. Hope to resell them for $40K once the prices go up.

Just get BF Goodrich tires same thing and usually cheaper.

Sorry, I disagree. Cheaper for a reason. Michelin the best.

No good deed goes unpunished. Got a flat today on a Yokohama Geolandar that goes on wife's CX-5 so the SBR mystery of what the penetrate they call it to get your tire back on the road will be answered definitively tomorrow. stay tuned!

I drive a Tundra 4x4 a lot on interstate but live down private gravel road. I ride on continental terrain contacts a/t.

So what happened?

C'mon, it's OK to say it.

The Yokohama is such a great tire that they plugged it for $40 and life is good again.

Go ahead and say it. It's OK.

**CantFeelMyFace** · 07-25-21, 07:26 PM

My tires ended up being a Dextero brand all season tire. 50k mile warranty. Just over $400 installed and that included an oil change. Good deal. If I get 25k miles out of them I will be happy. Thats 4 years of driving for me.
