    Well, it's time to bury the old tires because they're shot to hell.

    I got some recommendations/prices from Discount Tire, but I thought I would consult to see which would be the best to get.

    Where's the best place I can get quality + price on tires?
    What's the best brand to get?

    I've always had great luck with BRIDGESTONE on my trucks they're made by firestone.. one set I had almost 90,000 miles on :eek: I know it sounds crazy, but they wore like iron..

    Discount Tire has a Kelly-Springfield called the Pathfinder. Great truck tires, look good, don't wear easily. My old man's gone through about a dozen sets or so, and he swears by them.

    They're about $125ish with warranty.

    Yeah, Discount Tire recommended me 3 Pathfinder types for my SUV.

    Pathfinder Trail A/P - $481.32 - discounted tires if they wear down, $540.52 - complete replacement coverage
    Pathfinder Sport SUV - $507.32, $568.52
    Pathfinder Luxury - $550.60, $615.80

    I'm clueless when it comes to brand and pricing on tires.

    I've got four of those on order for my wife's SUV to be installed on Saturday. A bit more expensive, but if you compare the survey results on tirerack.com, they are WAY highly rated. A couple hundred bucks extra for the four of them? She's worth it (though she may have to do without a new pair of shoes this month :) )

    Firestone makes nice rolling tires, i'm pretty sure u could make a few dollars off of permanent disability.


    Sweet, I just made a boatload of cash rollin over in a explorer 500 times. Thanks Jim Adler, the Texas hammer/tough smart lawyer.

    P.S. Call Christian Hill

    Once you agree on a make, check out Sam's club as they are typically cheaper, however, I don't know about the on-line places...

    We need to meet up for a Rox game the first of the year...

    I had those tires on my truck. They were okay actually.
