Another tire price thread, but a little different

[xxScapegoat]

I went to America's Tire Co. today (Discount Tire) and asked which 32" tires they had. The guy told me they had 4 32" BFG AT ko's, and quoted me a price of $603 without 'tire warranty' and about $670 with.

the price includes 4 tires, mounting on new rims, putting new rims on explorer, balance.. the works. Ive seen threads that talk about the tire mounting, balancing, etc.. but none including putting tires on rims, and rims on car (i figures it shouldnt make a difference since they have to take the stock wheel off anyways, but i want to make sure). I saw that "97X" got 4 rims, 4 tires, balancing, etc for $608, so im guessing thats just an unbelievable deal.

purpose of the thread: is $670 a good price for that? i saw that "97X" for 4 wheels, 4 tires, balancing, etc for $608, so either he got a hell of a deal or $670 is too much.

Could be logical, I plan on getting Bridgestone Revo's put on, the firestone place here in town was going to sell me 3 and get the 4th free, total price with mounting, balancing, etc. etc.. came to 633 (thats with 1 tire "free" = 150 off) and thats for 31's...

americas can offer a slight discount on bfgs as they are a factory authorized michelin dealer..... americas price includes freem ounting and balancing... however their tire price might cost mroe because of that..... a lot of tire places pricematch so shop around... in general bfgs arent cheap, and the msrp is pretty much what they sell at give or take a couple bucks.....

i have worked at americas/discount tire company and another company morgan tire and auto/wheel works

at wheel works, the charge was like $44 for balancing (all 4 = $11 per tire) free mounting and 4 dollars ($1 each) for standard clip on weights... we also had taxes for disposal fee and state tax fee of the tires... we charged $3 per valve stem also ($12 on 4).....

That's a good deal.
