Verde Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 dont worry im in the same boat i need tires as well but why so much? what kind of car do you drive? A Nissan Pathfinder.. the OEM Goodyears are about $180. I'm trying to research different brands.. I'd much prefer $125 per tire but have no idea how good they are. Don't want to sacrifice safety to save a few bucks but I'm not exactly thrilled with the current tires either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could have got mine cheaper, but the couple of places I checked out were all in the same price range. Last time (before my cheap ones) they cost me more than this, and going the cheap brand/price wasnt worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a Sam's Club around you and are you a member? they are usually the best place to buy plus they have a very good warrenty and the fix flats for free also Goodyear can be price there and go with BF goodwrich they are good tires and not that expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodYears are a rip off, a soft tire that wears out really fast. Look for Yokohama Geolandars in your rim size, or Kumho's (not making a joke with the last one, honest!)

Bob Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Agreed on the price of tires. I spent over $700 putting tires on my Envoy last month. 17-inch rims =$. I got Goodyears and I'm really happy with the performance on ice and snow. We'll see about the wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
