However, if you compare the prices for the SAME brand, the tires she bought, at the site you posted, would have been more than $20.00 additional per tire. She'd still have to add the various ancillary charges when the tires were installed.
No, just that she should shop around first. Even Walmart has 8 of those tires under $90. And it took me all of 25 seconds to find them.
Think of the children.....
Probably this guy doesn't get the discounts walmart does, and can't sell too many tires as loss leaders, but a very budget conscious buyer should be calling around.
I missed the memo on the 18" wheels. I assumed she had an SV model, which would have 17's. SL and up have 18s.
Most of the locals here have expired plates, unreadable ancient temporary tags, careening about with random body parts hanging off-guessing no license nor insurance either. If they need tires, they would just go to the local used tire guy (who picks through my indy mechanic's junk tire pile & buys other tire company cast-offs!)! Worst thing is, the needy mother in the linked story was sold 2 of the cheapest tires one could buy, Milestars! At least in Mississippi, snow shouldn't be a problem! Hope the CVT outlasts the tires...
In my opinion, spending some extra cash is well worth it at the local tire shop. In my experience/opinion, buying tires at walmart actually costs more with poor service, over tightened lugs, credit card machies that dont work properly, faulty installation, etc. Workers that hate being there and even tell you so. And going back to undo all this. I avoid WM
