#32944, "Surprisingly good deal at America's Tire (a.k.a. Discount Tire)..."


          

Howdy, y'all; I was shopping for new tires for my 1996 GS (second set of Goodyear Eagle GT II's were done at 125K miles). Whew; it's exhausting to select among the many tire options at the many local retailers here in SoCal.

I read that Goodyear was offering a $40.00 mail-in rebate on a purchase of four new tires, in my case the P205/55R16. I selected the Goodyear Eagle LS ("Luxury Sport," for what it's worth), mainly because of the reasonable price at $73 ea. Reviews that I found online were mixed, but I don't drive that fast, and don't need a high-perf tire. The Eagle LSs have been around for a few years, so I assume that Goodyear's worked the bugs out.

Eventually I got around to phoning the local America's Tire, and made an appointment. Gotta say that the shop exceeded my expectations (I insisted on a wheel-nut torque of 65 ft-lbs, as the owner's manual specifies, and they complied), especially when they advised that, for the NEXT THREE DAYS ONLY (Aug. 27-28), AmTire is also offering a $75 discount on the purchase and installation of four new tires.

So, for a net of <$275.00, I have four new Eagle LSs, and they're smooth and quiet, and made in the USA. Can't beat that with a stick, especially when money is so tight for so many.

Hope this helps. (I have no affiliation with America's Tire, or any other retailer, for that matter.)

André in SoCal.
