Default Tire Deals?

Where do you usually find the best deals on tires? I'm looking to purchase some in the next few weeks.

Thanks!

I usually use www.sportbikertrackgear.com they sell Michelin tires, usually pretty cheap. The thing you have to check is mounting them, most stealerships will charge you more to mount a tire you didn't buy there, so make sure you factor mounting in the total price.

I know a couple of places I can get them mounted at a decent price. The set that's on there now, some friends and I did by hand. Umm...I'm not doing that again.

Tires are kinda expensive around here.

Had them within 5 good working days.
I feel like I got a good deal.
Good Luck

www.pureacceleration.com and look at the prices on your tire of choice. I know the owners of that business personally, you'll get a decent deal on tires.

Ok NOW you're getting picky! Um I guess they are kinda soft,but a rear will last me about 4000 miles and I change earlier than most. I am the resident shop-a-holic on this forum,shit I have two sets of tires sitting in my apt right now! If you give me an idea of what type of tire you want,I'm sure that I can help you!
