Wow wotta deal!  Thanks for posting!

Daaaamn it!  Anyone have any feedback on that tire?  I had planned to run Firehawk Indy 500 summer tires in that size.  But hard to pass up $95 instead of $170

Tire-rack wants over 2x as much for them.  They have a nice video review of them next to other tires though.  The video review was good compared to other tires in class.

Ugghhh  You guys are costing me $!!  It showed only 6 left, so I did not spend my usual time researching them as I knew they would be gone.  Just pulled trigger on a full set of them.  Simply cannot pass up that sort of tire for the $.  MY 245/45's still have tread left, but the new wheels are begging for properly sized shoes.

I would’ve jumped all over this deal this morning if I didn’t need to buy new wheels to fit properly

I saw this late last nite and posted. The other day they only had 2. I have been checking this daily for more stock to show up IF they were not just clearing out two tires.

They must have got more stock? I grabbed 4.

They might have more stock showing up so pin this somewhere and check back daily.

You cant beat $119 a tire installed. I have a local shop that does it for $70 with disposal.

On that link to purchase it was gonna send me to Sears for $80 I think which isnt too bad.

They showed 6 when I saw this and posted earlier.  I bought 4 of them, we will see if they then add more.

That is a steal for install price.  Places out here are $100 higher than that.  I have a hole in the wall place close that is cheap, but I am not trusting my wheels to them.

Its Reading Pa so. Not a high cost of living area.

$15 to vulcanize patch a tire. LOL

They showed me a place that was $19.9/tire but it was a good 45min drive north on a no traffic day.

FYI folks they are back to full stock, not saying anything about limited qty and the price is still $95.  They are prime, but say in bold 2-3 days to ship.  Mine are showing approx next Wed.

Incredible Pricing. Dont know why either unless they are clearing up excess stock.

I got an Full Injen 3" stainless exhaust for my Juke from Amazon. $100 shipped. They were just getting rid of them. Normally around $450.

These are decent tires and they should be a great ride on the SHO 20" flower wheels.

Probably overstocked, or they have a new version on the way, or maybe they have been sitting a while and trying to move them due to datecode?

I have 20X9.5 aftermarket wheels, so these will be perfect.  Only thing I am "concerned" about is they are pretty hard @ 500AA rating

Daaaamn it!  Anyone have any feedback on that tire?  I had planned to run Firehawk Indy 500 summer tires in that size.  But hard to pass up $95 instead of $170

I have these in a 245/45 20 and the ride is firmer than I'm used to. I have a PP so I don't really want a firmer ride but the tire is over-all responsive with turn in, and grip is there when pushed in the corners. I have no idea what bad weather conditions are like since I try not to drive it in snow or rain.

My concern with these is if you're looking for a 40 series (like these listed) they would be too firm. Especially when they wear half way, you'd probably want to replace them early; which negates your savings and longevity.

They also want to "track" on concrete and follow the grooves which can get annoying. On asphalt they are great and really pretty quiet in general (no pun).

I'd go for the Indy's. I've heard great things about these and wish I'd gotten them. If you need all season though, maybe step up to a 45 series in these?

Next time you need tires, go with a 255/45/20 as that should help it ride a touch better.

I agree, the 255 was a welcome improvement over the wearing Michelin’s that came on it. Much better ride and it’s not a PP, you guys with a PP must feel like your rolling down the road in my leaf sprung one ton truck.

Mine does not feel like that.  Least not anymore since I removed the H&R's and went back to stock springs.

Well, maybe I was being a fuzz dramatic.. I’ve really enjoyed driving this car. I hope she gets another.

All four shipped. We shall see if they are for real.

Not gonna install right away. I want to burn up the OEMs more and have super fresh new tires for the winter.

 

[ToMang07]

I've ordered tons of tires from amazon, from ATV and motorcycles, from cars to 35" mud tires, never had an issue.

Yeah mine shipped the day after order.  Due in on Thurs.  Not sure if I will wait to swap them or not.  we shall see.

 

[Macgyver]

Wife and I drove a lot over the past week. I will say I will have these on in October. Lost more tire than I thought we would. Maybe 500 to 1000 more miles. Better to use up the old ones. 39k on the OEMs isnt terrible.
