Buying Tires

i have bought tires from Discount Tire for over 15 years , free rotation & no hassle warranty . In fact I just bought a set for my Duramax (Goodyears).
A month ago i went in to have my tires rotated on my VW Golf station wagon and they put on a new set and gave me $300 off due to tread warranty on the Michelin's. Went with Continentals.
If yo do buy any Discount Tire will rotate & re-balance.

The last set of tires I bought were off ebay. Westlake brand, made in China, delivered to my front door. I had a local Mexican tire shop put them on.

YMMV. At least one shop here in Vegas discourages customers from buying Michelin's high end summer tires. They turn into flat spotted hockey pucks in six months or less.
I'm running Hankooks on my truck and my first Jag had them too. They work well.
45,000 on a vehicle like a Sienna seems pretty good to me. I don't buy into the 60k+ tire idea. If a tire is that hard grip has to be compromised. That doesn't work for me, too much Brit in my driving still.
There's a place in the barrio in Austin that rented tires and wheels, I guess, like, if you had a hot date and wanted to impress

I have to buy tires for the Putt Mobile, (Rav4), put it off as long as I can. Called Toyota and another local store yesterday, gotta get back on it today.
Have a blessed day,

Used to be one of those here, but it recently closed up shop.
Jeez, all this and I've always had good luck with round black ones.

Loyal Discount Tire fan here....
I've had such bad experiences with dealerships ('stealer-ships' on automotive/truck forums) that I'd not go to their tire sale if it was 'buy 1, get 3 free'.

I found that Simple Tire has some of the best prices on the internet. I bought a set of 60k mile rated tires for my Toyota Rav for about $280 total, delivered to my house then paid my local tire store $10 each to install them. The tires have about 35-40K miles on them and still look great and they handle better and are quieter than the expensive factory Bridgestone Duellers, and many local tire stores wanted to charge double what I paid for an installed set. When tires are that cheap I also don't mind buying a new set before they get bald.
