I'm in need of new tires. Any good online tires sites or shops where I can find a good deal?

 

hey just give me the specs and i'll see what i can get you from my friend's tire shop.

 

I have worked with a bunch of out-of-town specialty shops to get good take-off tires.

I have some 275/35/19 PS2s, 305/30/19 PS2s and RE050As, 265/35/19 PS2s in the garage now, and can certainly get more.

 

275/35/19 and 245/35/19

 

Tirerack and EdgeRacing are good online sources.

I've bought my last two sets of Toyo T 1Rs from Edge; bought tires for Highlander from tirerack.

 

onlinetires.com is also good.
also got a supreme deal on some tires from citytireonline.com (they're located in socal but can ship)

 

nice thread, i might need some tires too.

 

i normally buy from tirerack.com also, but i was in a hurry this time and was recommended AMERICA'S TIRE in walnut creek, where i was helped by a manager named Mike. he got me toyo proxes t1r in 285/35/19 and 255/35/19 installed for $1385 OTD inc tax and all fees. the 2 tire sizes were $275 and $320 each, which is competitive even against those online outlets, and they were super careful with my beloved black VOLK time attacks, and my black lugs.

great experience, highly recommended.

 

That seems pretty pricey for T1Rs.

 

yeh, it's +$20 per tire from onlinetires.com price, but there is no shipping charge, lifetime balancing, and great service- tires were ordered and received same-day, and installed in an hour at a drop in appointment.
up here in norcal, it's tough to find a shop that understands that you don't want your car back with scratched wheels and chewed-up lugs. i know in socal there are shops that get that, but it's rare up here, so i'm willing to pay an extra $80 to not have to yell at the cashier, get my wheels refinished, and buy a $150 set of rays lugs.

 

large sizes of tires probably accounts for the high price; I paid $800 delivered for last set of OEM 18" T 1Rs from Edge. Plus another $150 for install & balance.
