Had to replace my stock tires at 10,000 miles last year. Bought some proxy 4's with my life savings!!! $1100 bucks! now i have 24,000 miles and its time for new tires... any ways to avoid taking a loan out for some???

Not sure what you're asking - is it what tire don't cost an arm and a leg? All depends on the size you need, and your primary goals.

The other inherent question is why would proxes 4 cost you $1100? They should be significantly less than that

You got ripped off.

I get mine from treadepot.com. I bought T1Rs last time. Worth the extra few bucks. Much quieter.

He's in Montana, I bet he bought them locally. How many people in Montana require that tire....supply and demand.

OP, buy them online and have them shipped to you. Install shouldn't be more than $120. I bought a set of Falken FK452's and total with install was right at $750, they are 19" rims too.

only 14k miles off a new set --- thats not much mileage. Ive got 24k on my toyo T1Rs and just about to order a new set. spend the extra cash and get better quality -- pays off in the long run.
