so what is shipping for each tire? Shit I bought 2 sets and if Discount would sell them locally it would be Price + tax. I will deal with it when he gets them in, I tried to talk price and he was too busy.
i got a 15" set for the porsche, $77 per tire is great, shipping ended up being around $36... These should be a hell of a lot better than my Warior brand tires.
bump...just picked mine up today from GTE, price was just about what wagunz_pwn shows above (plus tax). I'm happy
i got my set as well, mounted and everything, $475 out the door, mounted and balanced at Discount 245/45/17 is quite a large tire, me like
I used to work for a tire MFG, you'd be surprized how little margin there is between whoelsale and retail prices.
I picked mine up today....well, I paid for them and looked at them...He is storing them for me until I actually need tires on my car I still have a good amount of tread left on my tires now and just dumped $200 for a new shaved tire because I had a nail in the sidewall. I will probably get them put on this summer.
where do you go to get a tire shaved? Do they measure your old tires first? I might need the service sometime down the road
I had the same question since mine will most likely be sitting for a year. Consensus I got was wrap them in garbage bags and put the silica packs in (if you have them...the things that come in new shoe boxes to help soak up moisture. I was going to put mine in the attic, but pEd brought up a good point that the attic will most likely get hot and humid in the summer...therefore, my girlfriend gets to look at my new bedroom decor for the next year
yokohama's storage guidelines if anyone's interested: http://www.yokohamatire.com/pdf/tsb-112102.pdf btw, any grocery store has a little bucket called "damprid", in the cleaning section. awesome stuff, but you do need to dump the bucket out every few weeks/months because it pulls just that much moisture out of the air.
wasn't too bad about 84 bucks...1035 out the door for 245/17 and 235/18. I am satisfied, GTE FTMFW yo!
