Hey ya'll,

Well just as the questions states above I'm wanting to find out if there is a place folks who order their tires online and go to for this type of work other than Discount Tire, NTB, etc...also...

I've often wondered if there is really a cost savings for ordering tires online. I know several folks on the board order online But to have them mounted has to yield an additional cost right?

Here's an example: I plan to purchase tires for my new rims...Kumho Ecsta SPT's I've seen on tire rack a set is running 154(f)/185(r) tires only....Now when i go to discount tire they have the same ones for 179(f)/210(r) tires installed...so that's about $20-30 difference. Well if I get the ones from tire rack i still have to pay $20 for installment....So to me there is not much difference?

All in all I guess my question would be are there a significant difference in ordering online rather than getting at a store? To me it doesn't seem worth it unless i'm receiving a HUGE discount.

Thanks very much for the info!

You can't beat Discount Tire! Just buy them there......

 

That's what i was thinking Cato...based on my example above you can tell there is no difference...I hope others will chime in who do order there tires online and will be able to provide a better argument in favor of it...

Oh BTW...I'm gonna get my alignment at the firestone down the street from us. Is is very steep to get on it? I dropped my G almost an inch with the 350z htechs so i'm hoping i won't have problems. Thanks for the info!

 

Ryan,

I wouldn't know about dropped cars and Firestone. I am at stock ride height.

 

Hahah...Thanks Dave...For some funny reason I always thought your G was dropped...hahaah...

 

theres a good tire sponsor on the site. i think its td4l or something like that. and you can get them mounted anywhere cheap.

 

if they have a normal Hunter alignment rack then you should be able to drive up the ramps no problem with Z H-techs.
-GP-

 

I looked at td4l a couple months ago when i was getting new wheels and they had the worst prices i had ever seen...

 

The great thing about discount tire is after they quote you a price you can do this....

"hmmmm.... That seems a little steep, what can ya do for me?"

BAM! Instantly cheaper

 

THanks for the tip! I called up and they do have the hunter racks.

So where did you end up getting tires?

Really? Which ones have you gone to? I'll have to give them a call if I decide to go there...Thanks for the tip!
