Got new tires
Posted: Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:31 am
Since people are asking "what tire do you recommend?" I'd thought I would post what I got.
In my sig I posted:
47,900 Yokohama Avid 205/55-16 $492.40 drive out w/TPMS rebuild kits
NEW
Yokohama YK580 205/55-16 $589.19 drive out.
Avid credit $-38.80
YK580 4 x 117.00 = 468.00
Free replacement 16.50 x 4 = 66.00
Lifetime balance etc 16.00 x 4 = 64.00
Environmental fee 1 x 4 = 4.00
Tax 28.32
Tax refund on Avid -2.33
======
$589.19
I also got a $60 VISA card in the mail as well.
Now I did get a credit of $38.80 because the Avids did not make the mileage of 65,000 it claimed. Got 58,119 out of them.
Those YK580s are propriety at Discount Tire so getting a variety of feedback ratings was kinda thin. I did not find any comments that were grossly negative. Feedbacks should be used as a guide anyway, unless my mommy said it.
Wife drives the car most of the time so I can't say anything except she likes them better. But then again, the old tires were near end of life so it is not a good compare "old vs new".
