I need your opinion...Tire problems :(
Yesterday I caught a nail in my right front tire. The problem is that the nail went into the sidewall so it's a non-repairable flat. Now I need to buy a new front right tire.
I was just at the local tire shop and was quoted $200 for the new tire and installation. The tire being the stock S-02.
Is this a good price or can I do better????
Please let me know what you think! (good price or bad price?)
p.s. This really sucks since the tire still has about 85% tred left

try tirerack.com, if you can wait for shipping. I think when I ordered 4, and had them sent to a tire barn for installation, the whole thing came in around 700 bucks. So you can save yourself a little. Actually, it would be even cheaper for you, since you're out of state and there would be no tax.

Yeah tirerack.com is $167 shipped for 1 front oem tire. It will cost probably $25 bucks though for mounting and balancing anyways, so you aren't saving much.
Try looking up Bridgestone/Firestone retailers in the yellow pages. I did, then did some calling around, and found a shop that could get it cheaper.
Better hurry before the dragon though!
