New tires day!!! Just got 4 Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires for the Ranger. All 4 tires and a free alignment were $578 and change. Not too bad.

Assuming your tire size as 235/75R15 wholesale on those is 102.00 each...that would put retail in my shop at 135.00 each or 4 for 520.00...so figure in installation and alignment you made out VERY well...:thu:

AT3's kick ass, especially in the snow. That's what I had on the envoy when they shut the highway down at oak hill. I wasn't having a problem getting around. That's what's going on the truck in about a month.

They are 245/75R16. My total installed/balanced with alignment was $578. I have to take it back on Wednesday for the alignment though, and it might need a camber kit for the alignment, which is about $100.

Raised the price by 1.00 each...:lol:..

Yeah...tires are funny...yours are significantly larger than the size I used but only wholesale for 1.00 more per tire...a more disreputable establishment would charge significantly more for yours...

Those camber slugs can be a hitch to remove...they may bump the labor some if they end up spending a long time under there with the torch burning them out...

I'm going to need tires for my SUburban pretty soon since its not looking like I'm going to sell it this year.
Me too! that seems like a good price! What retailer did you use? My best options are probably les schwab, as we enjoy the national service, and Costco. But I have to drive an hour and a half to get to Costco, whereas I can take a long walk or a short cycle home from Les Schwab.
 
That's a good price these days. I try to go with 2 at a time to spread out the pain.
 
Looked up our tires for the new car, Continental ContiProContact - 235/45R19 95H.
About $225 each. :embarrassed:

I''ve got a wholesale quote for 172.00 each...I'd retail them at 205.00 each...in that size the Continentals are the cheapest I see available...

To be fair though, the Conti has a tread rating of 500 AA A...outstanding for that class of tire...

Cool, thanks for the info.
I have a buddy who owns a wheel repair and tire shop (like, he has the ultimate set of tools, man) that can make a competitive deal for me.

He'll probably hook you up then...:thu:

Crap on a stick...I can't find steelies for my car so it looks like I have to buy cheap wheels to mount winter tires.

Just sold off my old snows & wheels so that at least softens the blow a little. I can't wait to live some where I don't need winter tires.

what do you think is the best bang for the buck, good bet for non-studded mud and snow rated tires for a 2001 suburban, 265/75 R16?

Not that impressed with Costco at least online, compared to what Prages found. Bridgestones and Michelins starting at 130.99 plus 15, per tire, installed.
