Thread: Best place for tires...

Tweet

The tire prices really bite! I put 4 on the Expedition not long ago (same size as mentioned above) - Les Schwab's best Toyos and and it was $1100. 80K warranty and nobody in the northwest stands behind tires like Les Schawab, i.e., free rotation, flat repair, etc...

I like them because it helps keep money local as all Les Schwab's are employee owned and they know me on a first name basis as I do all my tire business there for everything from the lawn tractor to the cars..

There are many on this site that remember less expensive tires - but as mentioned this is a consequence of shipping all our tire manufacturing to China and now being taxed to buy the finished goods. There was a time all tires pretty much came from Akron, Ohio and we all knew Goodyear, Firestone, BF Goodrich, Cooper, and so on.. I'm afraid those days are gone..

Ditto on no warranty - - - - however, I did find 4 Coopers in a 250 R7016 for $475 "turnkey" and the shop is working on giving a road hazard for $15 a tire in the near future so I'm waiting a few weeks to opt in.
