Tire Deal or Not deal...

no, not at all. there's no reason to "feel bad," because they are going to charge you to mount and balance those tires. they are still making money. it's really none of their business where you got your tires from anyway.

btw, i couldn't imagine spending almost $1000 on those goodyears. they are pretty decent tires, but i got a set of hankook dynapro atm's (rf10) for under $700 installed. the other guys are right - don't buy tires at the dealership.

 

From what i've heard you dont want Rugged Fails.

 

If you purchase through TireRack and figure roughly $60 for shipping and another $60 for mount/balance, you are still coming in at about $100 cheaper than your local dealer.

 

The rugged terrains look far more aggressive than the rugged fails. The silent armors are retarded expensive..
