Default Who's Got Killer Deals On Tires And Installation?

I need to find someplace that's got a killer deal on tires, mounting, ballancing etc...

I don't want to pay more than $450 after tax and install for either a set of Falken 512's or Nitto Neo-Gen's

anyone have any ideas? my wheels are *finally* in stock and i want to get them bolted to my box this saturday

thanks!

Check www.wheelmax.com They've got some pretty sick deals, and they're out of Vegas so there's no tax on them and they don't charge shipping. If you're looking for 17's there's NO WAY that you're going to get any for $450. The cheapest they have them on wheelmax is around $550ish. 16's you may be able to get for that, and 15's I'm sure you can. Hope I helped.

eBay got some cheepo nankangs for $279 for all 4 But as a left coaster you have to pay shipping out of Miami at $65 Still $344 deliverd... leave you $90 to mount and ballance..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2452934592

I also seen Wanli for $77.25 each and $10 per tire shipping thats $349 deliverd.. I personaly have these on my IS300 in 215/45/17 and I have to say they are loud.. road noise is a little weird on them... never had a tire ( street Tire) that actualy was louder or quieter in the same size and fittament.

If your set on the two brands you mentiond you can email these guys, I know the Miami place is friggin cheep..

Tirerack is the way to go. If you know people who work at dealerships or any other place that can mount and balance that will help too.

Thats what i did.
