Do you think this is a good deal???

[slick]

As some of you may know the lugs i have wont fit they are too wide. so in search of some today i ran across a shop that had some. They said they would fit under my centercap and have a set of locking ones also.... now they got on the subject of tires and i was like ok i need some to but price and tread pattern are a big deal to me. after about 30 minutes of haggling they gave me a price of 600 for Kuhmo Ecsta's mounted and balance on my rims with the lug nuts today, and i would only have to py half up front now and i finance the other 300 and i have 90 days to pay it off. so i was shocked i get the tires and lugs today for only 300 and the other 300 i have 90 days to pay.


what do you think?

here is a pic i found of the tires i might be getting. any bad experiences with them?

Whats the regular price for those tire regularly? And if you cant afford to pay for them out right I wouldnt do it or just put on your credit card

I had Kumhos on my accord they were really quiet on the road, the only bad thing that i remember about them was when i would drive in the rain, just barely push the throttle down maybe just a little bit to fast and your gonna spin the tires.

im not sure the price but if i bought them out right it would be around the same since i still need the lugs. i was quoted 536 just for tires and then 70 for lugs (not including mounting and balancing)

after the haggling we agreed on 600 plus tax which equals 643.50

hmm did you have the same ones as i posted?

Cum-hoes. Not a fan.

Dunlop and Falken are my favorites. I beat the hell out of cheap Dunlops, and they last forever... and they perform well enough for my needs.

[slick]

yea i like falkens myself too. i was saving up for a set which the people only quoted me 400 for mounting and balancing on them and i was like ok yes.... then i saw these and i didnt have to pay it all up front so i thought it might be a ok deal

Kumho and Yoko's i dislike. Go for Dunlops. I got caught off guard by Yoko's turning and accelerating in the rain and ended up in some dudes side yard. (1am headin home from night classes on fresh tar road)
Kumhos acted similar but never put them in that spot. Dunlops were great. what size are you getting?

Sumitumo HTR-Z's or go home.

[slick]

price is a factor here too

[deevergote]

Sumitumo HTR-Z's or go home.

For a "cheap" brand, Sumitomo makes some great tires.
