Cheaper tires
« on: October 06, 2001, 02:44:00 PM »
I walked into a Gemini/Goodyear shop yesterday looking for two new tires and was quoted $609.00 for right and left side Goodyear Eagle GS-C P245/50 ZR16 tires, needless to say I walked outta there laughing my arse off.  Unforunately I didn't know where I could get them for a cheaper price until I surfed this place http://www.tirerack.com/index.jsp  and got them for $155.00 each, big selection and great customer service, total price including shipping is $327.00 ordered them on Friday and expect them to be here Wednesday.

the 16" threw me off....figured you might have had one of those *cough cough* lowered civic speedsters...hehe

speed rated tires that size would cost about 200 each up here.

guess i'll stick with my my 185/60 14's at 40$ a pop  :)
though i wouldn't mind having your car  :)
