Where to get good deal on tires?

Looking for tires for my Prodrive P7's. Where would you suggest to get a good deal for a set of tires and what brand tires??? Looking for 215/17/45 or 225/17/45.

Thanks for your help



*EDIT* i meant 225 not 245

215/45 or 245/45??? What hapened to 225/40? lol, that's probably the best size for handling, or 225/45 if you want a decent ride still.

You'll get a good deal... but I highly advise against WheelWorks or TiresPlus.

Wheel Works/Tires Plus will also match any on-line distributor of tires. I got a print out of my Falken FK-451 Beta tires that where on my Rota Battles from Tires.com, and brought it to Wheel Works. They matched it and I saved a TON of money.

I can vouch for Steve at AI as well. He got me my PFF7's and helped select the best tires for my driving as well. They've been around a while and know their WRX stuff.

yup, AI does good work.

i usually check out www.tirerack.com and www.tires.com to see who's got the best prices on what i'm looking for.

i can HIGHLY recommend the bridgestone S-03, they make far more difference than i though was possible. i doubt i will ever be able to go back to ultra-high performance tires after having driven on max performance tires.

Or, I can give you a great deal on any Pirelli.

Actually, a buncha tire install places will do the "match internet prices" thing, so I've found, not just WheelsWorks/TiresPlus . Try it at your place of choice and see what happens. Just bring that print out
