Exclamation Tires

Do you think I can turn the tires around and roll with these tires until both sides are bald or am I better off just getting new tires?

Where will I be able to get a good deal on tires in SoCal?

Thanks

You might be able to get away with them a little longer on the car, but you might wanna start saving for some new tires. I can see you have 205/45/16, what type of tires you looking for?

haha mine pretty much looked exactly like yours before i flipped them around. i'm probably getting an extra 5k-10k miles out of them. but then they were just the rear, the fronts i just ended up replacing.

Yea, I might end up flipping them around... Kind of low on money right now. haha

Just to let you know, tire prices are negotiable at most stores, including national chains.

I've never paid the asking price for tires.
I always try to have them discount me $5-$10 per tire or discount other fees they charge.

dude, if wires are showing then its time to replace them... you really dont want them to blow out on the freeway or anything...

I paid $20 to get them flipped around.

Try hitting up topfuel, I remember he quoted me a great price.

Trust me try "Ron's Wholesale Tires" he has the best prices I've found. Jonda was mad last time we went to get a tire for me. She was qouted $85 a tire (mounted and balanced), thats half the price she paid at some other place!

futura are a pepboys exclusive tire brand ... the only things I get from pepboys are oil, filters, and air fresheners. I would NEVER buy tires from there

you'll never see futura being sold by big manufacturers (to my knowledge, but I haven't) ... I will only stick with the big brands ... Goodyear, BFG, Falken, Nitto, etc. Bridgestone also got crossed off my list

Yeah, thats why I said off the top of my head!!! Further checking out from me says that my guy dont even carry Avid H4 OR Kumho 712s. That pisses me off cuz I wanted to just get 2 712s, now I think Ill just get a new set and toast the front ones that still have like 40%.
