lew Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 If your lease is just about up and you have to turn the car in, cheap is good. Guess I should have explained better but I wasn't referring to the original post but just buying tires in general when I suggested buying good ones rather than cheap. Obviously if they're just to get a car to the end of a lease cheaper will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Maybe I'm wrong and maybe it's just me, but in my opinion tires are one of the most important parts of a car for keeping me and mine safe and I'll ALWAYS buy the best I can get. I could NEVER understand why anyone would cheap out on something as important as tires. As I said though, maybe it's just me. I agree 100%. The only part of your vehicle that touches the road. S.

Dara Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) If the tires are still good enough to turn in then maybe buy a set of 18" winter rims and put what you want on them, winter, all season, whatever. Drive them till the lease is done, turn it in with the worn but still legal tires and make sure the next lease will take the winter rims and tires you bought PS Read your lease carefully..I was about to go over KM on my leaser and wanted to know how much it was going to cost me...the spot where its supposed to say 5 or 10 cents per km says N/A.......booonus...somebody messed up when typing it Edited November 1, 2016 by Dara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the same ones I had for my Avenger when I had it. Salius directional snow tires. I reallyu liked them on the Avenger. So really if I bought from a name store, im up to $900+. No disrespect to John here, what is the mark up on these things? Im getting them for $150 each, instead of $225. And yes, they are matched tires 2016.

Mister G Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Why in the heck would someone purchase the best tire available (expensive tires) for a vehicle you are going to be turning in soon. When you purchase said vehicle, I highly doubt you got the best tires available at that time, but rather the most economical tires they could fit on said vehicle.

Bill Shearer Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Ford put Pirellis on my Edge. Far from good imo BUT Ford wants $300/tire for them. I had a nice smooth quiet ride home on the Yokohamas. And it didn't break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At tis time of year 10% is big money LOL. In the 30 plus years that I've been running my shop; I don't think I've ever sold a tire at manufacturers suggested list price. I've quoted it a few times, when I didn't want to sell tires to certain people. Anyone who deals in sales & service know the people I'm talking about. No matter what you do for them it's never good enough. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
