Help on tires!

Okay so, I've been looking for a good price tires for a month now and my car is coming out of the storage in 2 weeks. I've searched and call so many places (FML on long distance phone bill).

The cheapest tires that was offered to be were federal and hercules tires which i find it crap and prob wont buy. So im leaning towards Falken 452 245/35/20. I've got quoted range of 700-850taxed.

However I found a place "autogard" which would sell me thre tires for $770 installed + $80 off + free alignment + free diagnostic check + free brake inspection, sounds good doesn't it?

I still find it pricey because I know they get it for range of 500. Does anyone know where I could find good tires for a price range of 6xx range or has hook up or stick with autogard?

www.discounttiredirect.com has them for $692.00 duty included. I am also getting set up with a big tire distributor this week and could probably get them cheaper than that or even a tire equivalent like the Hankook Ventus v12.

I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

if you are looking for cheaper and decent quality go with Falkens, i heard the only bad part is the treadwear is not too much.

Don't speed 500-600 on a crappy brand tire, i spent 800 bucks on a bridgestone re-760s last year. their treadwear was better than falkens ,thats why i went with them. or else i was gonna end up with Falkens. Hankook is another brand lot of people here and US section uses too. I know the price of them is not that bad too.

I had falken 452 on my car last summer, and they wore down so quickly. I was going to try the Hankook V12's this year.

452's are a good tire. Just have to rotate them fairly regularly, then again if you have a lowered car and drive any sort of agressively rotations are a must for any tires prolonged life. May I also add, kal tire sold me the 452's installed barely over discount tire directs price. Just have to talk to the right person and catch a tire sale.

I've called Kal before it was the same price range.

Looks like im better off going to autogard and getting the Falkens installed for $770 plus free alignment which i REALLY need. lol

Do you really want to get super cheap on tires? Like c'mon. Spend some money.

FKs are terrible tires.
