Time for new tires!

My first car and ready for new tires. Driving a 2006 Honda CR-V FWD. Spends enough time outside to dry rot before tread wears out, and no winter weather. Any suggestions?

    Might being the operative word.
    By the time you add in shipping and local mount/balance charges, your local tire guy will be within a few bucks a tire with his regular price.

    Specialty tires are where TR has a slight advantage over the local shop.

    Check the load ratings---MOST critical writing on the tire.
    Everything else is not important.

    If you have a Discount Tire nearby, check their website, they will ship there for free and handle everything.

    No tire joint takes better care of their customers.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    Agreed about Discount Tire. They are the best at customer service.
    While I generally don't fall for the "extra" insurance plans on car stuff, their small fee is great for ANY thing that goes wrong with a tire you buy from them.

    Had a set of tires from them on my 2006 Dakota. Rode them for 48,000
    miles, hit a trucker's tie down clamp laying on I65.[xx(]

    Rolled the blown out tire into a Discount tire shop and the only thing the salesman said to me was "Have a cup of coffee---it will take us
    about 15 minutes to mount and balance a new one for you".

    I agree Discount Tire is a good place buy tires.

    Since I've been in the Atlanta area I've found that Kauffman Tire Co. is the best place I've ever had tires balanced. I've never had to take one back to be rebalanced and their prices are in the ball park with the discount stores. I've also bought wheels and tires on line that they mounted and balanced for me.
