I buy my tars from the scrapyard.  Might not last quite as long, but usually you can get some good ones off a wreck for a fraction of the cost.  The last long enough and you aren't raped right in the wallet hole.

i tried that once and brought them to a dealer to put them on.

The tire place said "youre tires are too old to install".

some bullshit, they looked fine too!

Oh well, new tires look fuckin badass IMHO.

Yeah well that's no surprise from a dealer.  They pretty much are only going to use new OEM parts or ones that are refurbished by them.

quite the opposite.. bad alignment will cause premature tire wear.

i would check the alignment after the tires.



Thanks!

Thanks! BUT, I want an all season tire. Colorado winters aren't that bad, and the primewell tires I had on the last 2 winters were great, but they are worn out. They have a cooper/arizonian silver edition all season for 80, and another III edition for 87 each. I could save 18 bucks a tire and still get a 75.00 cash back on all 4. Not sure which would be better.

man, i would go with the cash back deal. the coopers are nice, but thats pretty much a good deal. and I believe that you get road warranty with michelins as long as you own them.

on that note, dealers do sell 80% thread tires. But to get it your car rim size, not easy. u gotta get lucky.

cool, thanks. Knew I could count on your well informed opinion. It is a black friday deal, got an appointment on that friday. I went in to have them rotated and balanced for a trip to Texas this xmas, was going to get them down there. Glad I stopped in to get them serviced.:grin: The place that put my struts and shocks on didn't align my car right (or at all) so it wore out 2 of them. I finally got them to align it but the tires were fucked. I'll probably get the mich defenders.:grin: It's like I get 4 for 75-80 bucks each.:grin:

yeah, I didn't really look at them since the alignment was done early this spring. I did get a rotate and balance once since then and the guy said he would do it but I needed to get new ones soon (they didn't look that bad then) and one tire is almost bald in the front now. I'm just glad I have the cash for them without hurting my pocketbook.:grin: I still love this car! I'll probably get a newer buick in a couple of years. The lacross might be the one.

that never really happens either with the timing and all..

they did a good job on the lacross/verano/regals and so far the price point on them isnt crazy like the gmc denali/cadillac line is getting.

I'm looking at a 2010 or 2012, don't want to pay more than 10 grand or not much over. Read bad revues on the recent regal. My mates son needs a car soon. I may sell him this one and get the lacross next year.

i dont blame you there. i dont see the point in paying full markup on brand new vehicles either.

the only thing i dont like about the regal is its supposed to be the new 'grand national' it cant even compare to it.

Les Shwab for example has the option for 80% tires.

Edit: u probably thought car dealers but i meant tire dealers (retailers).
