Nice discount at Tire Kingdom/

aviator · 03-14-2018, 02:07 PM

about a $1600 job on my truck, tires, brakes.....they have 10% mil. disc. Should have given me 50% for the four hours I spent there, but it wan't really their fault, they had to wait for the rear brakes.

I need new tires on my Xterra. The cheapest deal for the Cooper ST/Maxx tires I want in 265-75 16 is around $1,000 out the door with installation and road hazard warranties.

I thought Tire Rack.com would save me some money until I added it all up. It is still cheaper for me to go to Discount or Big O.

So, any deals anyone has a line on - I'm looking.

I bought tires already mounted and balanced on wheels from https://www.4wd.com/b/on-sale/_/N-cle8z

Tires are expensive . just a few months ago I spent over $1800 in my wife's car tires and brakes too, but she's rough on the brakes, they last me about 100K miles she wears them out in 36K.

Men see a red light Fred they start pumping the brakes. Women see a red light they speed up to get to it then mash the brakes to the damn floor.

I do my own brake jobs. I save a bunch of money. I usually look around locally to see where I can find a good deal on tires.

I got a killer deal at Sears last year for Michelins on that Buick I gave to my grandson.

She sees a red light ahead and she's still on the gas. I close my eyes when she drives. Granted, in 40 years neither one of us has had an accident but I feel uneasy when she drives.

$970 for 265/75/17 Bridgestone dueler revo 2s, load range E on my silverado in November. I still do the majority of my mechanic work, so only parts there.

aviator · 03-14-2018, 07:00 PM

Pogo, I have all the tools to do it, but I'm a lousy mechanic, it might take me five hours to do one brake pad, between work and phone calls, so I've decided when it comes to cars...pay for it. I need them running like now, not tomorrow.

I work at a dealership so I get tires at wholesale price and can use the shop to my own work,,sometimes if it's a real big job that ties a hoist up for a day or more I let them do it,,parts at cost and discounted labor of course.

Stalky · 03-15-2018, 07:30 PM

I spent I think 800$ on Firestones. Before the mounting and balance charges a couple years ago. But I rarely drive since the wife retired.
