I need new front tires on the MR2. Anyone here work at a tire store? Looks like the tire that matches the rears (Dunlop SP Sport FM901) is discontinued? Looking around on Tirerack, I found a tire that matches quite similar to the Dunlops, which is the BF Goodrich G-Force Sport. Now I would be getting sizes 205/40/r16 or 205/45/r16 which are $70 and $73 per tire respectively with roughly $25 shipping to my door, sans tax off [tirerack.com](http://tirerack.com). Factor in $20-$40 for mounting (high estimate as I have gotten 4 tires mounted at Reids on Seneca for $20 numerous times) and I am at about $200 total cost. Now the question I pose to you wonderful NYspeed members is… Will I find a better price than $200 for 2 BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires in 205/40/R16 or 205/45/R16 with included mounting and taxes at a local tire shop? Anyone have hookups at a local tire shop? Grassy ass! ---

[www.edgeracing.com](http://www.edgeracing.com) [www.discounttiredirect.com](http://www.discounttiredirect.com) [www.vulcantire.com](http://www.vulcantire.com) Those are the 3 I always shop, as well as the standby of TireRack. I had PM’d a local about tires, he said he’d get back to me and never did. I make it a policy to never pester someone about giving them my money, so I simply ordered them online. The tires I ordered late Monday from Edge were delivered to my house today. Now if Culligan would just give me back my car so I had something to put them on. ---

I’ve ordered from Discount Tire Direct… Hankook Ventus whatever number (same ones you just got). I got those quick, and price was right. Loved those tires, but they will outgrip the rears too much as they don’t seem to be around the same traction-wise. Just wondering if someone here can get me a better or similar price locally. I have no quelms about buying online, but If I can buy locally, it’d be nice to support a local shop. ---

You could also check with Hybrid or Innovative. More often than not there prices are competitive. ---

Swerve mounts, and Hybrid or Innovative can usually recommend someone. ---

Well, I have always had a very good relationship with Reids. They have always hooked me up with $20 for mounting 4 tires, about 3 seperate times now.
