THANKS VULCAN TIRE! Cheapest place around for RT615s!

So I got my RT615s on, OMG! These tires kick ***!

Found a little shop on the east side of town to mount, balance, install em, new stems, recycle old tires, the works for 50 bux!

I got the tires from Vulcantire.com.

I would SOOOOO recommend these guys. This is the 3rd set of tires I've purchased from them. They've always had quick service and have never given me a reason to have to contact them.

WHY BUY USED WHEN YOU COULD JUST BUY NEW AT USED PRICES!!!

Here are some of the common sizes:

225x45R17 - 105/tire
235x40R17 - 114/tire
245x45R17 - 110/tire
225x40R18 - 127/tire

Now, this is before shipping, but they use ground which is like a couple of days, it was like 466 shipped for some 225s.

you might be confused, I got them mounted for 50 bux.

The tires themselves are around 100-120/tire, and they are brand new.

they are only a few bucks cheaper than discounttiredirect.com due to their shipping charges. I Shoulda bought them last week from discount with the $100 off deal , woulda been $450 shipped for a set in 255/40/17

They don't sell every brand of tire but the ones they do sell they have really good prices on and their shipping is fast!

Those prices are their prices, they've been that way for a few months now, so I don't think the prices are going anywhere...

I call that a Tortireia

Last time I got mine, I paid $50 here in Watsonville to get them mounted/balanced, same thing, the local Tortireia took care of me

I just ordered a new set when dicounttiredirect had the sale, I'll be going back to the same place for mounting. Mine were $408 for 225/45/17

Vulcan is good. I bought my old Azenises from them some years ago.
