So, I decided it's time for new boots for the tow vehicle. The original tires were about 80% gone and with several big trips coming up I figured it was a good time to replace them with all new rubber.
I did my research, found the tire I wanted and called my dealer. He said the best price he could give me was $303 each. He told me to search the internet and see if I could find a better price. Even with shipping I might save some money. I checked TireRack.com and found them for $198 ($792/four tires) each with $112 shipping for all four. That's $904 plus about $90 for mount, balance, tire disposal, tax, etc, for a total of $994. Then I found TireBuyer.com and they listed my tire for $208 each with FREE shipping to my chosen installer. I ordered the tires at 3:30 Wed. My installer called my at 9:00 AM the next day (Thursday) to say my tires had arrived! I had them installed Friday morning. Total spent was $922. I ended up saving about $290 over local pricing.
The part that amazed me was the quick delivery. And the tires were all made less than three months ago........AND MADE IN THE USA!
