Yes- you have to go away from Amazon to read reviews of it from other places....you get what you pay for!JRL wrote:A CHEAP CHINESE tireMadeInJapan wrote:Not trying to cheap out but better reviews than any other tire in the size I'm needing- what do you all think?

Old thread but this info fits here.
Currently free install deal going at eBay. Used this last year on the kids S60, did the install at the local Firestone, saved me about $100…set of new GTRadial tires installed for $300.

A friend who runs a Turo business with 35 cars buys all his tires on Amazon, eBay, and Marketplace. Saves a bunch of money. He says he just keeps an eye out for date stamps. New tires I'm talking about here.

Yes, good to ask the seller about date codes. I’ve gotten some good deals on TireRack.com on sets that had two year old date codes. This eBay set I mentioned above was pretty fresh.
Process to do the free install was pretty straightforward, and local Firestone seemed more than happy to get the install business.
