Tire Question

Post by zionzr2 »

I was at a Discount Tire (Bridgestone Dealer)And was inquiring what I might get as a trade in value on my virtualy new RS-A's. He was telling me that I should go with theBridgestone Insignia SE200.anybody have an experience with these?? I tried to look them up on Tire Rack but did not find this tire. He said it was the best all season that was going to have good tread life and a quiet ride for wet and snow they had.

We've sold some of the SE200. They have a 65k mileage rating, which is very good. I drove a Nissan Sentra that we put them on to see how the rode, ect, and was satisfied. I still like the G009 better, but it doesn't have the mileage rating.

What kind of deal did Discount tire offer you? They quoted me $350 plus my new RSA's for a set of 225-50-16 TripleTred's. Not sure if this a good deal.

They sell for $118.00 each at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...eTred So, it would seem they are not giving you much for your RSA's.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...+RS-A

they said they would give me $20 a tire for my RS-Asand quoted me a total price of 420 or so mounted and ballanced and all that stuff...didnt seem worth it to me...GoodYear dealer wanted $450 to put on Triple treads giving me a $40 per tire credit on my rsa's I think I'll just wait....Maybe I get lucky and something bad will happen to my tires and i can get new ones

I guess my deal from Discount Tire doesn't sound to bad after all. 225's should look nice and fat on the Vibe.

I went ahead and swapped my almost new RS-A's for the 225/50/16 TripleTreds. Super tire, much quieter than the RS-A's and the extra width looks way too coooooooool!
