Title: tires
Post by: Azanne07 on January 25, 2018, 12:56:54 pm
I am so over the tires on my car. it seems like they have just been taking their turns needing to be replaced.

First thing on the list when taxes come back is tires. and hopefully they will last a while and I wont have to worry so much

why does set backs always seem to have a partner in crime.

Gotta love life.

OMG I hate having to replace tires. I've had my tires for 4 months and recently one had a nail in it. I took it to shop to get it repaired , but couldn't because the nail was in the side wall, so I had to buy a tire... so annoying  ::)

I'm the person in charge of getting the tires replaced on both my husband's and my own car. Every time I go to the tire service center, I have to keep telling them, "I need a cheaper tire that's still safe." So we usually spend about 5 minutes getting the right tires that aren't ridiculously priced! :(

 I hate buying tires.  Making the choice is very overwhelming and  being able to  afford  them is even worse.  :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

   Tires: So many types of tires to choose from.
    Do not forget: Your choice of tires can save your life
    and the lives of those you love.
    Choose your tires wisely!

I usually get mine at a Goodyear and always go with the roadside insurance.  It's good for a year and covers things like nails in the tire.  It helps to rotate them regularly and take notice of your tread.  if it starts to wear down, you know you will need new ones soon.  But rotating regularly will keep the tires lasting longer.

Buying tires is so expensive. I just bought four about six months ago and one of them is going bad. I am so irritated because I seem to have lost my receipt and the place I bought them will not fix this one tire unless I find my receipt. UGH!!!

I love getting new tires, they make the car looking newer again. I feel safer knowing the each tire is in great condition, less worries driving!  :) :) :) :) :) The only thing I don't like about getting new tires is the cost of replacements!

That was a great deal on your tires for a little over a hundred dollars.

Not bad at all! I'm not looking forward to getting tires for my Tacoma when that time rolls around...

Go to Walmart when your ready....great prices and all sizes...just slightly more for each inch you go up and slightly more for LT's....I didn't get LT's, harsher ride than passengers.

Good luck with the new tires. My tires are not bad ,but they always need air. Every two months or so my light comes on for the tire pressure. A friend of mine has the same model car and says the same thing always happens to her tires too.

I'm glad I don't have those stupid tire sensors on my F150 (2005) I just do it the old way...once a week get out the digital tire gauge and check myself.................... :-\

Unless you got some dinky car with 13/14 inch tires....seen some as cheap as $45 apiece at Walmart...no pair of Michelins or Goodyears but better than nothing! (Mastercraft I think)

This spring, hopefully.

I saw last night that one was low again.  Will take care of tomorrow.

My mechanic friend is watching for good used ones for me, so I won't go bankrunpt-er than I already am.

Sorry about your tires, I sure know they're expensive. I had to replace 2 pretty new ones a while back when some stupid kids decided it would be funny to slash my tires in my own driveway for no reason.

Shop around and get the lowest price tires out there.
