Anyone Got the Hookups for Tires? (Preferably Northern Colorado)

[Jer]

They were on the CR-V off the dealer's lot, all the upper models had them.
Bought new in 2010 and now 29,643 miles on the odometer the tires need replacing badly.
Just looked, they are the Continental contact 4x4 type, there may be a difference.

That's why, new equipment tires are made of a different compound and are known to wear out MUCH faster than the same tires sold at tire stores later. The tires I'm replacing are new fitment with less than 20k miles to give you an idea and most people don't even get 15k miles out of these same tires on these same cars. Just an FYI on that topic.

As for the different types I can't speak to that either as I've only used the ones I listed specifically in different sizes. They rated really well in independent tests many years ago and after research I tried them out. They were amazing so whenever I need new tires on a sedan that's what I go with. Duratracs on trucks and these on cars.

Hey Jer,

Pete of Tire Source in Boulder is selling off his inventory of tires since he sold his business to Green Garage. Green Garage brought the business and not the inventory.

Thanks for the link. He has a pair of the tires I need but there is no tread depth listed so I emailed him to ask if that means they're new. Hoping so because that price is too much for tires that have already been mounted.

Thanks for the tip man but this crazy vato snichols28 up here is my man if I'm buying new at retail. I'm really only interested in this pair of tires from the guy going out of business if it represents a decent savings over what Steve can do for me. Who knows, if Steve gets sideways with me I may have to talk to your guy. We'll see how it goes.

For anyone who was following this thread with any interest there is a new version of the DWS called the PureContact. It's slightly better in just about every way and with a warranty that goes from 50k to 70k it's a pretty impressive improvement on a tire that has already impressed me time and again. If you want more info here's a brief blurb here. For those that don't know the DWS stands for Dry Wet and Snow. This I knew however one thing I learned today that I didn't know was that these three letters are actually cut into the shoulder blocks in the tread of the tire at different depths. As the Snow capability fades the S disappears from the tread. Likewise as the Wet capability fades the W fades from the tread. When the D for Dry fades you will be at the wear bars and it's time to replace the tires. I thought that was pretty cool myself. A little gimmicky but cool nonetheless.

Here's a pic:


For anyone needing tires (now is the time before the snow/ice moves in) get your best quote in writing and then contact snichols28 above. They will match any price you get from any other tire shop and hook you up with some bonuses (Steve is a caring lover) for giving you their business. He'll make it worth your time, believe you me.
