Got two tires from Advanced Tire and Wheel today....good people, althought they didn't have the size I needed (245/45/16 - kinda uncommon). Got two Dunlop SP Sport 9000s in 225/50/16 (not the best tires, but decent) for $30 each. They probably have about 70%-75% tread left. Only complaint is one tire I got has kindof a hole in the sidewall....it holds air, but for who knows how long (it's probably 1/4" deep, down to the nylon belts). I'm going back up there tomorrow and change it out, if they'll let me. If not, shit will fly.

Total cost was $88.xx for two tires ($60), mount+balance ($20), and disposal of one tire ($2.50). Not bad for performance tires with decent tread....

I can find used tires, ones i wouldnt mind running so they arnt totally bald and can mount and balance them. I am in Palm Harbor. Sizes and if you need them taken on and off would affect price.
