Chevcup47 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ok ive got just over 40,000 miles on the stock goodyears. and im looking for the best tire for my buck. went looking through the search deal and still cant decide. i dont have a big bank account to work with just wondering what is out there thats the best deal for the bucks. i dont really want to go with goodyear again wanting something with a bit more agresive tread.and also staying with the stock size or maby going with a 275/45/20 just not sure.

Jaymz Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/s...ar=45&rd=20 tire heaven my friend. I've had the falkens and the hankooks, both are great tread patterns, traction, and price. But they didn't quit make the milage warranty. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzer Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I searched around online for the Hankook Ventus ST RH06 (Stock Size) & found them at Discount Tire for $136.00 each. And at that time they had free shipping. But mounting and balancing in our area is $15.00 to $20.00 each depending where you went. So $136 x 4 = $544.00 then even with the $15 each M&B add $60.00 so it would of been $604.00 So I called one of the local tire shops and asked what tires they could get me in the stock size and they said the handled the Hankook Ventus ST RH06. Price was $554.08 Mounted & Balanced. I ended up getting these tires. I like them but I wish they had smooth sidewalls rather then them virtical thin ribbed lines. So my point is if you think you found a deal online on whatever set of tires you choose. Call several local shops. They just might do you a better deal or just as good. On another note there is a thread about tire manufacture dates. I was lucky and all my Hankook's were made in the same month and year. You might search that thread so you don't get sold some old a@@ tires. Good Luck in your choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine "flat spot" in 8 hours, but after 5 minutes of driving all is well. That happens because of the type of cord used in the design.....
