I need to get a set of snows for the saturn this year. The all season firestones I bought two years ago are a piece of shit. Tirerack will ship a set to my door for a hare under 400 bucks mounted on new black steelies. If I just buy the tires from them it is 220 bucks, plus whatever mounting costs will cost (mount in winter, dismount in spring)… So pretty much 300 bucks for just the tires. Anybody on here running any good deals including mounting? Its a 03 Ion, either 185/70/14 or 175/70/14 I forget. ---

I’ve found in the past discounttire looks more expensive until you factor in shipping. May times they’ve come out cheaper after shipping was applied. ---

last year I bought on tirerack and then the next week discounttiredirect had a 50% off sale with free wheels. ☹ Do they have that sale every year? If so, maybe wait a few weeks.
