Example: I got $250 (!) off worth of discounts for these:
By the way, that's extra $10 web special per tire, so $40 off on top of three rebates.
Installation is $16 per tire if you have a www.discounttire.com location (that web site is for locations not for ordering) but order online from http://www.discounttiredirect.com/ and ship to store to save on tax.
Go to Walmart if you have no dicount tire stores in your location. They have cheaper tire mounting fees than most other locations.
Possibly useful Consumer Reports ratings:
The biggest change for me is not to trust tread-ware ratings after my 100,000 Hankook mile tires could not even last 40,000 miles so I switched to Good Year this time.
A tire installer told me that he doesn't know why Hankook rated their "100,000 mile" tires like that because the model that Hankook itself has that is rated lower, routinely outlasts their so-called "100,000 mile" tires. I never expected my Hankooks to last 100,000 miles (of course) but I *did* expect them to last more than 40,000 miles... Learned the hard way, hopefully you won't have to...
P.S. It's totally worth it to take out the Discount Tire card (it's not really a credit card, it's a store card) - they *always* have the $60 off specials with their card as method of payment... All family members can profit from that each time they need tires replaced.. .
