Where is the best place in-store to get tires for an Acura TSX 2005? The dealer told me it would be $219 a pop...and i figured it could get them alot cheaper somewhere else...Pepboys has buy 3 get one free...are they worth it?

Non lo so non so risp xk I'M ITALIAN!!!!!

Keep in mind that you will need to keep using a V rated tire (at least) if you want your car to perform the same way. 95% of the time tires are a 'you get what you pay for' item. Cheap tires will usually not satisfy you. If you don't care then this does not apply, but 219 does seem a bit high. A good performance tire should run you between 160 and 200. Just make sure you get something that is the same speed, load, and traction rating as the original tire.

Never get tires at the dealership - they buy from the same place as Discount Tire, NTB, Pepboys and so forth but they have a higher markup. Pepboys is ok, Disocunt tire is better, NTB is owned by Sears, so they are the same, if you live out west then BigO tires are good. These are all about the same on price, if you are looking at something like a 225/45/17 with an X or Z rating, then a very good quality tire like a michelein or BFG tire should be more like 170bucks per tire if you want the highest performance tire, middle of the road tires like a Kumho or a dunlop more like 100-120bucks per tire.

rebel get em on tirerack.com & have them deliver it to your local shop for balance & mounting.

you'll get about 20k miles out of a set of BF Goodrich G-Force tires and they are arguably the best set of "economy" performance tires. You'll spend about 500-600 for the set @ NTB plus free tire balancing. Falken are descent, stay away from Kumo (you get what you pay for) Good luck!

www.tirerack.comBridgestone Pole Pos. (they've changed the numbers..I have 3's...for a TSX they're slightly higher than my RSX-S...but they hug the road and are great to corner in...) have them force balanced...(I'd stay away from PepBoys....)

just ask the dealer for the make and model of the tire they would sell to you and search online for that same tire on tirerack.com and see if its cheaperor call other local tire stores and see if they sell that make and model cheaper, if not , then get it done at the dealer

Just get Nitto neogen
