I need new tires for my other set of wheels when i switch them out after winter is over and im looking around for a good price. What are the best brands? I don't necessarily need all-season tires since i have a separate snow set. My tire size is 245/45-20. So what are some good places to buy and that have reasonable prices?

Once you have an idea on what tires you are looking for shoot me a PM or give us a call. We can be pretty competitive with tires and can handle the mounting and balancing while you wait.

You need to know what type for the driving you do. If daily use with what kind of tread life do you want? Mounting and balancing runs 10-15 a wheel usually. My roommate is manager of a tire shop and actually researches a lot of tires and helps with cross comparisons. If you want PM me and I'll give you his info.

A good friend of mine is good friends with another guy who owns a performance shop in cherry hill. He says he could get me a set of purely summer performance tires for $620 a set and hankooks summer performance tires for $480. Now that sounds like a pretty good deal to me assuming they are good performing tires

I'll check it out. Thanks

discounttiredirect has hankooks for about $160 each or Nittos for $180 with free shipping.

So yea your friends deal sounds pretty good especially if they are mounted and balanced.

Sublime1304 · 01-20-2011, 11:43 AM

They are mounted and balanced for free

Focus more on a good tire rather then price. Pick 2 tires that you like, then call arround for prices.
