Finally got new tires..over $1400!!!

[FSETH]

Why dangerous? Honestly, the better shops in my area do it this way. Some people complain about balancing, air pressures, etc., but last time I put new tires on my X5, I had them balance them on-car and paid an extra $40 for nitrogen. 40k miles later I haven't had to add nitrogen/air once and have never had a vibration issue.

Tire shops are hit and miss. Even national chains, but this place is know to be money. A little more expensive, but they do little things like wash your wheels and hand torque your lugs when other typical chains air gun them up. No other local tire shop has Lambo's, Ferrari's, Bentley's, Porsche's, MB's, Bimmers, etc. lined up like this place.

I searched them for tires that would fit a 2002 4.4i sport package with 19' wheels and here is what I found;

First of all, they don't carry the rears 285/45/19 in the Toyo.

Fronts are $193.20 a piece or $386.40 a pair. Plus $32.96 at the cheapest shipping rate. If you were to double that (which will still be cheaper than the cost of the wider rears) you are at $838.72 for four. Plus you will have to pay someone an installation/balancing fee and a used tire disposal fee. So, like I said $1,100 isn't that bad out the door for 19's.

When I add up the cost of 4 tires from this place and add shipping and road hazzard it comes to $952.00. I would then have to pay someone to mount and balance them plus a tire disposal fee. That's going to put the cost closer to $1100 or even higher. What happens if I get a defective tire? I've read on this forum where this has happened. Plus what happens if I need to have a claim on the road hazzard warranty? Who covers that? The installer or TiresDirect? I can see a hassel there. I think I'll spend the extra money and get the Michelins locally. I've always been pleased with Michelins as far as handling, wear, quietness.
