anyone know of the best deal on tires?

my brother needs new tires... he's annoying and will only deal with brand new tires.. however, they dont need to be high performance, so ur everyday BFGoodrich and such will suffice...

they're for stock z28 wheels, 16" 235/245/255

thanks
ian

Kumho Ecsta MXs are a good deal, good tire too.

Go to www.nationaltirewholesale.com in Delta on River Road. Ive never seen prices as cheap as them. If you like the tires they carry, than I dont think anyone can touch their prices.

I need new tires for my truck........I'll have to check that place out.

I think I'll go with some Mud Terrains this time.

Re: anyone know of the best deal on tires?

Kuhmo Escta 712's worked well on my Camaro for the $.. If I remember correctly, they were $100 USD for each 275/40 R17's so I'd imagine the narrower 16's would be even cheaper.. If you goto Kuhmo's site, you can search for a local retailer.

One thing to watch out for, is the first like 10-20 miles, these tires (or at least the ones I got) had some sort of protective coating on, that made them literally have barely any traction at all.. After I racked up a couple of miles no them they worked fine.

I though they "squeeled" earlier, but gave alot more grip when they complained and broke away more progressively, than the Comp T/A's they replaced, which I thought made less noise at the limit, and seemed to just break away relatievly quickly..

Someone told me of a tire shop that did this. Who has had tires bought and installed by discount tire on this board and how recently? Thanks.

Re: anyone know of the best deal on tires?

Speaking of tires what does the "r" mean in this.. 275/35R18?
