hey, thanks for the info from the forum, i just bought the tires from BONES ENTERPRISES and they even installed for me in about 30 minutes for only $60 more. I dont know what Kevin3 is talking about but $560 installed for 4 Falken tires 225 50 17 and 235 50 17 is a great deal and yes Falken does make a 235 50 17, i have them on my car right now. They were really nice peope and had a warehouse full of perfomance tires. Billy really know his stuff. If anyone is looking for a single 17 inch wheel or tire to replace a damaged one they have quite a few of those as well.

 

I hear Discount Tire Direct will ship you the same package for $432.

 

Nice try Chris, you said you guys didn't even have them in another thread, sounds like you don’t know what you are talking about. first you said they didn’t exist then corrected yourself and said that your price would be lower once you got them in. now one day later you all of the sudden have them when just yesterday you didn't even know they existed. So what’s your real story? Do you even know? Then you post this saying "you hear that discount tire will ship you the same package for $432" if you work for discount tire why don’t you KNOW if they will or not. Also is $432 shipped to any state or do you have to pick them up locally and pay sales tax? All I can say is Billy at BONES knows his stuff and even installed them in less than 30 minutes for only $60 more and they have them in stock.

 

No, what I said is that Falken didn't make them. Which they didn't until recently. I was wrong. Big deal.

So, I called our ordering department, who in turn sent an e-mail to our account manager at Falken, who quickly returned with pricing and availibility.

Correct, Shipped to 44 states for that price. AZ, TX, NV & OH are subject to sales tax. To get tires to Alaska and Hawaii, we have to put them on a plane, that costs a little extra.

Fear not lad, I know my stuff and when I'm wrong I can admit it.

A little tidbit, I spoke with Billy at Bones yesterday for about 30 minutes about other things. He was a great guy to talk to, had a bunch of great ideas. I don't believe that he runs his business like this, so I would HIGHLY doubt that anyone working there would post things like this.

 

Nice try Dave, you are a real smartass, checkout my other thread about where I work, I work for a body shop and we get vehicles in all the time with the same tire damage as shown in the photos of the guy with the trashed rim. We have to fix the cars when they come in on flatbeds because they wrecked after the tire disintegrated.

Yeah save it for your mama. Nobody cares how much you paid a local place to install your 17" Falken tires. If you wanted to post about the tires and comment on how they perform that would be okay. I know Bone Enterprises is not a sponsor and I know that Discount Tire Direct is. The end.
