SAMBUSA Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Looking for some new tires for the Acadia. Right now Tire Rack has the best price. Anyone have a hookup for cheaper? 255/50-19 Bridgestone Dueler Alenza is what I'm looking for. TR has them for $182 each, plus shipping.

jporter12 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I'm guesing you're intentionally changing the size? The fitment guide from one of our suppliers shows 255/60-19 for that thing with 19 inch wheels. They only show one tire in that size though, it's a Goodyear Eagle RS-A for just about $110 each. We should be able to do mounted and balanced for around $520 out the door, maybe less. We're a little bit away from you though! Looks like we're about a 2 hour drive! The size you specified, the only thing that supplier showed was over $200 each! We have another suppplier that I could check with that carries Bridgestone, Firestone, Uniroyal, Continental, and others, but for some reason I can't get logged in. I'm not sure if I messed up the login info, or if their site is just down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Typo, 255/60 19. And it's got the Goodyears on them and they suck ass. That's why I'm changing. There is plenty of tread on them but they are the worse tires I have ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of tread on them but they are the worse tires I have ever hadUnderstood. They don't even have a very good wear rating, I figured they were worn out too fast! I have not idea why the local PD insists on using them. If I can get into the other site, I'll see what we have avail, but I doubt we'd beat TR's price.

MidgetTodd Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 If you do make the trip down here for the tires Im sure theres several of us that will meet up with you at BWR's or Hooters before you head back ......... and who makes that disc lock I was eyeballin on your swingarm last time you came to BWR ?

jporter12 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ok, I was having a dumb moment last night, and I wasn't even drinking! We don't normally get Firestone/Bridgestone, it's BFG, Michelin, Continental, Uniroyal, General, and others, which are all decent tires, but nothing under about $220 each for your size. It doesn't look like there's much available at all for your size! I tried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I will check when I go to work tomorrow but thats such a odd size that i probably dont have many options. I think that size is on the newer highlanders as well and thats the only two cars i know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 from tirerack wholesale can get the goodyears you have now for 83 and the tire i would run the dueler alenza for 164. of course id have to add freight and tax and all that other goverment stuff.

jporter12 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) We have a TR wholesale account also, but after adding the shipping it's just not worth it to get tires from them, even though their prices are a little bit better than our other distributors, the shipping kills it.

f4isvt Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I have seen a few tires where I can get them cheaper as a regular customer than with the wholesale account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOW Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 when I needed new tires for my LS I found the best deal on eBay. I got 4 tires shipped to the door for $400! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 This is relevant to my interests. I have a 2008 Scion xB (205/55R16, save you some time ) that the OEM's are getting worn down pretty well. Anyone in Columbus hook a kid up?

SAMBUSA Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Ended up ordering the Bridgestones from TR. Just short of 900 shipped. Should be here tues or weds. Hopefully I can get them on before the first Edited December 29, 2009 by SAMBUSA spellcheck.....stupid phone:nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2008 Scion xB (205/55R16, save you some time ) that the OEM's are getting worn down pretty well. Anyone in Columbus hook a kid up?Anywhere from about $45 each, all the way up to about $145! There are so many options in that size. The tires that I recommend are in the range of $70 - 90 each, plus mount and balance. It all depends on the type of driving you do, and what you expect from the tires. I'f you're an aggressive driver, it's the ones that I recommend for it. Otherwise, there are some decent tires that are cheaper. Treadwear rating on several of them is in the 60-70k minle range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Check these out, rated for 50k, all season, more performance oriented, could do them at less than $400. They're made by Kelly/Dunlop/Goodyear.http://www.fiercetires.com/tires/instinct-vr/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Or, we can get something more basic, if you don't need a performance tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That get the se or better ratings than higher priced tires.Prolly work great on the scion.I like SOME Kumho's. Some of them that I've had on the Camaro are WAYY slick, get next to zero dry traction. I know some of their sport compact sized tires, such as what Jagz is prolly talking about, seem to be purdy goood. I'm pretty sure these new ones that I mentioned for Cheech will bee good as well, without the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the Goelanders. For light trucks (and SUV's) we sell a lot of Nokian Vatiiva's. They do really well for all around, A/T use. The price is good as well. Winter traction is really good, it seems the Finn's know a thing or two about snow and ice driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have nokians on all my cars. Unbelievable snow traction. Had the at's on my 2 wheel drive blazer and never got stuck in snow once. The ht's on my f150 and the mt's on my yota. For a mud terrain I am impressed with how quite they are and the wet traction. Plus I get them 10% under cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
