...are expensive

 

I'm going in in a couple of days for new rears and to finally switch back to summer rubber.

I feel ya.

 

Yup, just got mone mounted today and total cost is over $600.

 

What kind of tires are you guys going to be running for the summer? I'll be replacing mine these summer as well.

 

I just got some rears since my fronts are still good. I have Toyo T1-R's. LesSchwab wants about $500+ for the rears. Instead I bought them online at edgeracing.com for $360. I was going to change all four to some RE050 Pole Position but the local firestone place wants about $1100.

BTW these were for 18s so the 17's and 16's would be cheaper.

 

Chris did the place Tirerack recommend do a good job?

 

I just did the front two. kept it OEM bridgestone. it was 340 bucks, and got one of the techs at work to mount and balance them for 15 bucks.

 

I am running the T1-R's and I love them. They are stickier and quieter then the RE050's that come stock. I also am running a 255 on the rear and a 235 on the front for more contact path. I might be wrong on the front but the rear is a 255 for sure

 

I was going to say that you got ripped on tires, Huy. I got quoted about $150/tire on the rear, but then I remembered your rims

I'm running T1-R as well and have had no complaints whatsoever. They didnt last me very long last year though

 

Yeah, A N T did a great job. Setup an appointment and started on the car as soon as I walked in... did a good job and even washed my wheels while they had them off. Just a little hard to find with no sign but I saw the big Hoosier truck (they do a lot of work at PIR). I would use them again for sure.

Have used Discount/Americas Tire in the past but they were not matching prices on this install and this was more convient as I wanted an Oregon location to avoid sales tax.
