Default good place to get some tires?

america's tires in folsom has the kumho ecxta mx's for $225 a pair installed... but when i asked about the s03's, they said $250 each!!! tirerack sells these for $125 each, but i'd have to pay for shipping and getting them mounted. anyone know of a pretty good tire place to get the s03's? i guess i might just stick with the kumho's but the sidewell is so damn ugly!

I buy all my tires for all my cars from the Tire Rack. S03's are $100 cheaper each from them than local stores.

any recommendations for mounting balancing shops? i got quoted for $25/wheel, which seems a bit steep for just doing a 10 mintue job

Big O Tires off Calvine and 99 charge $20 per tire and do a good job. I also get all my tires at TireRack but I stick with the S02s. Haven't found a better tire than those.

I recently bought a set of S-03s through a local shop that I'm with. www.D2Motorsports.com or call them at (916)788-1374.
Hope the price is what your looking for.

thanks for the replies, i think i'm going to go with the fuzion tires. $350 for all 4 on tirerack. walmart would mount and balance the tires for $12.50 a piece... i just don't know about trusting walmart with my baby!

Are the fusion tires any good? Don't skimp on your tires. You'll regret it. You could get your tires from COstco. Right now they have 6o dollars off of a set of 4. I got mine from them and the price included road hazard. You have to order the tires, but it takes about a week to get them in.

i've read some good reviews on them here. the fuzions are made by bridgetone/firestone and are supposedly close to s03 quality. we'll see how they work out!
