I had to buy two new tires a week ago...front and rear passenger. Noone in my area stocked the tires and I could not get them through the Chevy Dealer where I bought the car.
Finally one local business found the two I needed...in two different states. They wanted a total of 580 bucks, installed.
I decided to order through Tirerack. They give you a choice of places to get them installed and they shipped the tires directly to Goodyear (where I chose).
I ordered on Tuesday and the tires arrived on Thursday. I got them for about 450 total. However, Goodyear charged a hundred bucks to install them.
I had been run off the road into a curb and that is what caused the blowouts. So I had to also get an alignment. That was an extra 65 bucks.
So there is no cheap remedy when you need tires.
Hopefully the prices will stabilize a little when all of us start needing replacements due to normal wear and tear.
Just be prepared to shell out some cash now.
