Default Tires

2 of my tires need replacing, the other two are at about 50%. I'm going to go ahead and replace all 4 pretty soon. With a baby on it's way, I'm on a budget. Anyone have a hookup on tires? I can pay in cash. Thanks!

If you are really on a tight budget you can get good deals on used tires. There is a place called Ruby Tires on Fletcher Ave in Tampa that sells used tires mounted and balanced for as low as $25 a piece. They only charge $10 per wheel to mount and balance, so they may be a cheap alternative if you find a deal on tires elsewhere.

I would also suggest you try discounttire.com They recently opened some stores in Florida and have really good prices on lots of great tires.

Hankook Ventus HRII H405 are 73.00 a piece for fronts at discounttire.com... they can ship them to a shop (at least they used to)and you can get it mounted and balanced there.
Ive used them on my old VW golf and have them on my rear on the S.
I like em...they do last a long time but they are no performance tire. Its a really good price wiithout going to the used tire option. On our cars i would not buy used tires unless your in dire need of temps.

AK Tires in Clearwater is pretty good. If you're really ballin' on a budget, they have a large collection of barely used tires as well.
