Lowest Price Tires
 

So with all the websites on the internet, where do you guys go to get tires at the cheapest price?

I got mine off tire rack & went a size bigger...225's but I have WAY less "grip":banghead: I ended up paying 460.00 shipped & 40.00 to install

vulcan tire

Negociation with Discount tire. I paid $495 for 4 kumo spt (very nice tires) Installed.

If you don't want to deal with all the shipping, and toting the tires all over the place, you can actually find very good deals on tires from Tirerack.com. Once you get a quote, you can take it to a local Discount Tire, NTB, and they will match the prices of the tires you want. They will want you to pay a little extra per tire for shipping, but overall, it's a very good deal..

i got mine for 40 bucks

tires-easy or savontire

Discount Tire Direct seems pretty cheap to me. Beat most of the pricing I've been looking at.

find something good that you want and call discount tire direct and ask for a comparable tire they don't have . They gave me the price for the cheaper tire and upsold me a better tire lol .
they didn't have the RT 615 that time . plus like posted above careful what you buy the stock tires are down right awesome when it comes to grip they are 140 tread wear also . I bought some cheap falkens for my stock rims and went a size wider and one day went to hit the brakes and was sadly dissapointed .

Onlinetires.com Cheaper than Tirerack and discount inlcuding shipping to your door prices. Got some Falken Azenis RT-615 in a 225/45R18 for $702 to my door. The best Discount could do was $780.

Hey Marty, I wouldn't buy any Nankang tires.

discount tire + friend that works there.

This has got to be regional. For the Sumitomo HTR ZIII in 235/40/18 Tire Rack has them for $476 shipped, while onlinetires.com is at $524 to Virginia.

Got lucky and got Bridgestone RE01Rs on clearance from tirerack - I think they were like $70 each for 225/40/18.

the thread is called lowest price tire. i posted the lowest price tire i could find. i did not ask for tire prices. i did not say i was buying a tire.

You can usually save a good deal of money by going with the lesser known tire brands, like falken or hankook.

They make some of the grippiest tires on the market (both summer, winter, and all-season performance), and are also pretty inexpensive compared to something like a mich or a goodyear.

I'd go...

Dry Grip (Stiff as hell sidewalls)
Falken RT615

Dry/Wet Grip (Still stiff sidewalls, but better rain performance)
Hankook Z212 Ventus

Wet Grip (Soft Sidewalls, Touring summer performance DD Tire)
Falken 452

All-seasons
Falken 912 (#1 in last all-season roundup)
or
Nitto Gen ZR (#2 all all-season roundup)


You can also dump the 18's for 17's...better performance, cheaper tires.

You can get hankook's from tirerack, and falkens from discounttire/vulcantire.

+1 for tires-easy.com

Discount tire is pretty good, ordered a few sets of tires from them. Very fast shipping too.

But when I can, I have a friend that works at a honda dealer, he hooks me up sometimes. I got some Nitto NeoGens for my honda for $215 for all 4. cheapest online was $450.

So if you have a friend that works at a car dealer you can probably get a steal on tires...

I use a local shop to Atlanta. Dekalb Tire. Know a guy there and got some P-Zero's 225's for about $214/a tire.

+1 for finding cheap prices online and having Discount Tire match the price.

Snarky comment:

You get what you pay for almost always. If you're looking for the cheapest tires that fit you have many options. But if you're doing that to save money for more mods or whatever, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Then again, if you're buying new tires for a stock MS3 and can't afford ones that are at least as good as the stocker's, which aren't bad but not stellar, why did you buy an MS3??

IOW, your should should have bought a slower car that fits your needs better, if you can't afford quality treads for it. The car wants to go fast, if you cheap out on the tires and try to go fast anyway, you're likely to hurt yourself. Or someone else too.

Sure enough, $700-900 is a lot for a set of tires, but consider what you're driving. I know money is tight for most everybody but seriously. IMO, you should consider Goodyear GS-DS's. They can keep up with the car and they last a long time which helps offset the cost. Their price point is less than the OEM replacements and, driven conservatively, should last about twice as long, and you'll still be able to go fast safely. Stay away from snow and ice but relish the rain, which is where they really shine. Smooth riders too. They're just great 3 season road tires, one of the very best on the market IMO.
