Yeah best price I found was $98 per plus all the tax, mount" balance and disposal. Even tire rack would have been more.
Other places were minimum $125. I was looking at the goodyear eagle GT and a couple others as well. This was hands down the best deal.
I was blown away when I looked down at the paperwork and it was a flat $400. If you ever want Kumho tires just go to Kumho in San Jose. Super fast. No nonsense. Just get your tires and go.
It's crazy how many places don't carry anything. I was literally on the phone with tire shops for over 3 hours this morning price shopping and checking stock. Stupid. This is a common size and most places are next day at the earliest order. Blah.

Thats making me regret wanting to stay with the Dunlop Star Specs, they are great but I just can't afford $550 on tires at the moment, $400 sounds much better!
One plus for Costco is that their mounting cost includes road hazard insurance.
I too was surprised that no one carries these sizes. I guess if it doesn't fit a minivan or a Suburban/Tahoe most places don't stock it. But with Tire Rack being in Reno you can get stuff next day with ground shipping.

Yeah, the total cost after tax, shipping, mounting, and balancing for Star Specs was painful. I don't regret it though.

So far I'm happy with these. Beefy deep treadfor snow. Quiet. Smooth. Handle pretty good when they get warm. Just drive over 152 and 129.
