Can somebody please hook me up?
Does anyone have some sort of discounts on tires? I've got a hernia in one of my tires. The quote i got is ~210 bucks. Ive got Continental Contact Pro 235/45/17. Can somebody please help me out in the Albany/Saratoga area? Any help is appreciated.

unfortuantely tires are tough to deal on. you're looking at maybe 8-12% markup in most you tires if you buy them wholesale. all the tire money is made in aftersales with mounting/balancing/ect.

$210?! Holy shit! Just go buy some used tires man, I had 245/45-17 Y-rated Goodyear EMT's(run-flats) on the back of my Nissan, $90 mounted and balanced. They were only about 50% but $45/tire is sure a hell of a lot better than $210! I never buy new tires, totally pointless. One good pot-hole and they're garbage.
