Winter tires anyone?

Post by pj » Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:16 am

I just bought 4 Yokahoma IG 20 195-70-14's from Discount tires and with all the various rebates and such, I got them for $110.00 shipped. I have a friend that will mount and balance for $25.00, so all told, 4 tires for $135.00. Not too shabby.

Very nice. What vehicle are they going on?

They will be installed on my 73 Thing. They'll be one of the few parts for a Thing that will not cost an arm and a leg.

Nice. I paid that much for just a pair of Firestone WinterForce.

Just got all my rebates in and after selling my 4 old (still serviceable) tires to a young guy who was driving on may pops for $25.00. The total bill was:

200.00 shipped
+ 25.00 installed
$ 225.00 total
- 90.00 in manufacturer's rebate
- 40.42 in Bing cash back
- 25.00 sale of old tires

total 69.58, too bad I cannot find other such great bargains for the Thing.
