new tires

Do any of you think that paying $81.50 per tire to have a dealership do full install with stock tires is worth it or can I get the same tires somewhere else for cheaper.

Dealer charge way too much money!

Go somewhere else.

www.tirerack.com has the stock Firestone FR690 $61

I went ahead and made an apointment to have firestone put on some firestone tires for $51 a tire mounted and balanced. Much better price in my opinion, even though i'll two different sets of tires on there. what do you guys think?

That was a certain truck tire and the tires have been improved since then otherwise I don't think they'd be in business anymore. I just need two fronts so that the car will pass inspection. Not to mention my parents live two houses down from the guy that owns the place i'm buying them from. I used to jam with him and some of his buddies back in the day, so I trust him.

ROFL ... he said "JAM"

sorry that was funny.

Anyhoo... I've hadn't had any problems with the 3 sets of firestone's I've ever owned, included the stocks... besides isn't firestone just a subdivision of Goodyear ??

You gotta "kick it" now

You can't be "jamming" that's old school . . .

unless you meant you actually used to play music with the guy, I suppose that would be acceptable.

Yeah I used to play music with the guy, I was like 14 or 15 at the time. He's a hell of a drummer and he also does professional sound setups for live shows on the side.

Well for one, the stock tires have no grip
for 2 they don't do **** in the rain, they do less in the snow.
I highly advise you to buy any other tire besides them.
Read reviews on TireRack.com... everyone else agrees.
