Just got off work and thanks for all the replies. The tire sizes I need are 225/60/16 and 205/70/15.I have not ruled out the local shops except the Goodyear dealers, they want way too much, Discount tire has the Yokohama 580 that im looking at so any opinions on that tire would be welcome, Firestone had a buy 3 get one free sale going through the summer but it seems to be over. The Impala I drive the most so 225,s are the most urgent, I have Goodyear Integritys on it now and they are just about done. The Yokohama 580, Cooper CS4, Dunlop Sig. and maybe the Firestone Precision Touring are what ive been looking at. And full disclosure Made in the USA, is mandatory. One thing ive noticed about the local shops is they push the house brands or no name tires hard but not at any sort of discount.
I put Goodyear Assurance Touring from Sam's Club on my previous '06 Impala (225/60/16 size). Less than $500 out the door and that included free lifetime rotations. Tires were nice, quiet, and smooth. Better than the OEM Goodyear Integrity tires (done at 25K mles), and better than the 1st replacement set of General Altimax RT (also done after 25K miles.) I put the Sam's Club Goodyears on at 50,000 miles and traded the car when it had 60,000 miles on it. Tires still looked brand new with 10,000 miles on them.
My current car needs tires, and I plan to purchase online. The size is not common, so it is easier to have the tires shipped to my house and have the dealer install them for me (which they said they would happily do for $20 per tire.) I have used Tire Rack and Tread Depot in the past. Been happy with both, although Tire Rack's customer service lately has been less than optimal. Tread Depot sells Cooper Tires, a line that Tire Rack does not carry.
