9. Itz not mine

11. Those aren't tires

Somebody wrapped electrical tape around the wheels and called it "tires."

[REP]

19. I drive one of these:

Mine's a GT. It's got 19" wheels in the rear and 18" in the front. Tires won't be cheap. Hell, a brake job is supposed to cost $2K. I've only had it three months, so knock wood it'll be a while before I need to find out just how much tires are!

22. Tire Rack

Or Discount tire of Arizona, they don't charge shipping
when you buys their tires on Ebay

[Jack_Dawson]

24. Roughly the same price

There don't seem to be any screaming deals on Michelin Pilot Sport IIs

Thanks tho! :hi:

27. Dang! What about for a Sedan

I've got the sedan and I'm going to Costco for tires next week. I didn't think they would be nearly as much, but I know that in the coupe, the front and back wheels are two different sizes. I was thinking like $200. Shit shit shit!!!

2. do you drive a monster truck or something?

[AlCzervik]

4. well they look good, i hope they at least armor all'd them for you.

5. Jebus. 4 tires run me around $160

I'll stick with the dentmobile, thank you very much!

[Jack_Dawson]

6. Luckyyyyy

Did I mention my set lasts about 20,000 miles if I'm lucky?

7. Gotcha beat!!!

6 feet of collapsed sewer line between my house and the main.

Dig up the front yard, replace the pipe, plus the cost of waterjetting the pipe and getting the camera in to find the damage = $7,400

My house is the economic stimulus plan.

[Jack_Dawson]

10. Holy Crap

Literally. That sux. Sorry about that. :hug:

[OmahaBlueDog]

13. Thanks, but just remember...

..it's only money...money that is most likely going to be paid off over 15 years, with the interest being tax deductible.

12. damn! what do you drive,

a lunar lander?

14. I have heard of dealerships giving free tires to customers

for the life of their car they bought there. The provision was that all work had to be done there, everything from oil changes on up.
This was in Canada though. Don't know if any dealers in the U.S. do that sort of thing.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Bought from a Toyota dealer in AL that did that, so it's not unheard of. nt

[Midlodemocrat]

20. I got that deal when I bought my last minivan.

Free tires, free maintenance for life. Seeing how the tires can run $300 each, not a bad deal at all.

[DainBramaged]

23. It;s called "Tires for life"

It's an insurance program, rotate the titres every 7500 miles and get the repairs done at the dealership you bought the car from and the tires are replaced free, including blow outs.

15. You didn't even get whitewalls for that much?...nice car...n/t

[GOPisEvil]

16. My $600 rebate is going to new shoes for my Infiniti.

But mine's a 1994 G20, so I can get some decent tires for less than $600. :thumbsup: Or, I guess I can go for the nicer tires and spend the whole 6 bills.

[AggieGal]

17. I feel really cheap now.

I needed one tire and it was $90 for my car (2006 Saturn). Ended up going to a local guy for $15, everything included.

[RebelOne]

21. I just paid $325 for 4 new tires and I thought that was too much. n/t

[Giant Robot]

25. Does a hooker come with that?

During my sports car days, I would put top line Goodyear Eagles on for half that at most!

[Deja Q]

26. Paid $500 for mine -- could have been worse...

the store wasn't taking me for a ride either...
