Just got a quote from Goodyear to replace all the tires on my ultra-sheik 2011 Camaro. The quote was $1,134. I live in Baltimore, so things tend to be more expensive than normal, decent places in the midwest and south.
My question - is this a reasonable quote or am I getting bamboozled. Honestly I was expecting to shell out around $1,000 anyway, so my impression is to pay it.
Anyone else bought tires lately?
I buy my tires at Costco, due to their excellent pricing and the road hazard warranty that is included.
For your car, a set of Bridgestone Dueler All-Season tires would cost $941.96--before sales tax.
More than likely, you will not be able to find as good a deal elsewhere, especially when you consider that Costco includes free lifetime rotations, rebalancing, and repair. If the tire is not repairable during the period of the warranty, they replace the tire--gratis.
You may be able to get a good deal on tires like General (what is currently on my F150), Falken, Fuzion (sold at Firestone) or some other brands like those that will do fine for what you need.
I lucked up on our last Camry that had 18" wheels. It had Michelin Primacy on it and when we went to Firestone they quoted me $900 for the same replacements. I noticed a set on the floor in my size and found out a customer ordered them and never picked them up. I ended up getting the same set of Michelin's for $650 out the door to keep Firestone from having to return them and pay a restock fee.
Something to think about. Maybe a local tire store has something similar.
If you want to save maybe $10 call your counties land fill. Some places allow you dispose of four tires a year for free. The installer normally charges a disposal fee but not if you do it yourself.
Who said I lived anywhere near NYC? There's much more to NYS than NYC. I don't live in a metro area.
Nobody did. It's fairly obvious you don't if you have extremely limited options available for buying tires. The point is your situation is unique, and most people have better options than you do.
Considering both my vehicles have 20" wheels, our tires are expensive.
My Venza's tires are well over $1k for the set before mounting and balancing.
My F150's tires are over $900 before mount and balance.
And we have to order them all. No one has them in stock locally.
I'll tell you, Huntsville is a pretty expensive market in Alabama. Easily beats out parts of Birmingham metro, and tires are no exception.
I bought a new set at Sears recently for my car, 225/45/17, so pretty standard tire size, for a little over 700.00 recently.
Then i got the joy of finding a nail EXACTLY INTO THE TRACK WALL of the tire so I had to buy another one. no, didn't get the road hazard.... These were Hankook performance tires.

This is why I like Tire Rack - same price everywhere except for shipping which doesn't vary too much (usually around $17/tire). Local and chain shops tend to mark prices up to whatever the local market will bear or whatever they think an individual customer will pay. Tire Rack doesn't.
For comparison, the tires I ordered last week were $71+$17s/h on Tire Rack and $165+$16 tax at Firestone. Install cost was the same regardless of where they were purchased, which came to about $80.
And Tire Rack has a local pickup option here in Denver, so no delivery fees but have to pay taxes now. Discount Tire will almost certainly price match Tire Rack.
Check Costco. They have really good prices on tires, including performance tires.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Oh, wait...I did...in post #41...
