Need tires ASAP

I know that this subject has been covered many times but after reading through some of the post im still confused on where I should get tires. Most of the post I read stated either what tires were bought, where they got them, how much they cost, or how they liked them but not too many of them specified all of the above.

Thanks for your help.

Steve

I don't think I've bought a set of tires from anywhere but Tire Rack in years...

Well.. If you can, I'd deal with Tire Rack. I think that they are a site supporting member. Besides that, they are a great place to deal with IMO.

If you're after the Nitto's, Tire Rack doesn't carry them. You'll have to go with Discount Tire Direct.

Either the Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct would be my personal choices.

You might see if provette67 still has some sets. I bought a new set from him and got good service. Also, there was a near new set in the Part for Sale Forum on this site.

Good luck.

I love the Tire Rack. I even have a guy that I've been dealing with for years now. The problem is that the Tire Rack doesn't carry all of the brands. They don't carry Toyo and they don't carry Nitto. I'm not even sure that they carry Kuhmo, but I think that they do.

My second place dealer behind the Tire Rack (once again) is Discount Tire Direct. I know that they aren't a site supporting member though. What tire places are other than the Tire Rack?

Well.. It does look like a similar post, doesn't it? I think I posted it because I didn't think that they were getting the point that the Tire Rack doesn't carry all brands and that his decision completely depended on what brand he wanted to replace his tires with.

I will never buy anything but Nitto R2's for my car. The one who carries them gets the order.
