Flat and highway robbery!
I got a flat and needed a quick fix so I used Fix-a-flat. Took it to a tire place this AM - said they couldn't repair it and ordered me a new tire. I was expecting 60-70 bucks.
They just called and want 128+tax+balance and mount for it.
I remember reading on the forums that there are better tires - if I can get a set for ~200 I'd do that.
What replacements would work w/ 3 stocks (under 9k miles on the car) or what is better and cheap for these rims?
Update- Toyota wants 98 + 39 for mounting! Mr Tire said they can fix it.
It is almost worth it to get a set of Yokohamas or something good instead of a new GoodYear!

It appears I can get 185/65/15's from Tire Rack for 50-60/tire in highly rated tires. So I'm taking it to Mr. Tire for a quick fix. And will plan out my next tire purchase better. I thought I wouldn't get new tires until I either needed them or upgraded my wheels.
