Does anyone know about good deals on tires locally? I need to pick up a couple of tires for my car. I usually just get my tires at goodyear but I thought I'd see if anyone here has other opinions.

Discount Tires isn't too bad. Unless Your tires are as big as mine. Ouch!

Also, my current tires are 205-55-16. I usually buy all season performance and I'd like to spend less than $100 each.

265-75-16, real close to $200 a tire. Believe Me, That was cheap compared to some I checked out. (Shudder)

Watch CraigsList if you don't need them right away. I lucked out and got a set of almost brand new Bridgestone Runflats in the same size you're looking at for $120 for a set of 4. No bull. True, I lucked out some but keep an eye open, CraigsList has worked for me more than a few times.

Best of luck.

Discount Tire is always the cheapest
I don't even check around anymore (and I'm so cheap I squeek when I walk)
Don't buy made in china tires.
f*cking junk.
last 5000 miles then they explode on you.

I have a buddy who's a manager at Discount, although it would take some digging to find out which store he's at right now. He might be able to hook you up.

Shouldn't be a problem.
Dunlop start at about $70-75 GT Qualifier and SP60
Goodyear RSA'a about $75-80
BFG Traction T/A under $80
Goodyear Eagle LS $85


You should be able to get all of these tires and more at Wally World, plus install of course.

Keep in mind if you go to a small tire dealer like Peerless you can always negotaite the price...it's not fixed like Walmart or Discount.
Don't be rude or cocky..just ask if they can do better on the price and they always will. Getting 4 installed for $400 should not be a problem. It helps if the tire shop is slow too....they want business.
