Tires are so damn expensive _where do you go to get tires?

[santiago33]

Try Martino Tire, they have a few locations. The price is to some extent negotiable.

I called them and asked for a price. When I went to get the tires installed they asked me what is the price I was quoted. I told them what they told me over the phone. They wrote it up for that price INSTALLED, which was about the same price for the same tire on tire rack. They say they'll rotate the tires for free, but my car owners manual says to not rotate tires.

Tires are very important.

It's what keep you connected to the road and able to control your car.

Tires have a shelf life. That means, even if a tire is "brand new" never used but older than 5 years, it shouldn't be used. This is my personal advocacy for why one should avoid used tires.

If you don't need tires immediately, wait for a sale at one of the major stores. They typically have sales throughout the year. Buy 3 get 1 free, buy at 5% above tire cost ect...

Tirerack is a good option.
Costco is also another option that's about as cheap as it gets.
Also note the car can take more than one type of tire, go with cheaper but safe options.
