Hi i have i 2009 toyota camry and i need to replace my tires my tire size is 215/55/17 and i was wondering if you guys could recomend a good, low cost tire i can use to replace i tried going to the dealer and they were charging to much for yokoh and sumo tires, i live in miami so dont need to worry about snow or non of that preaty much is sunny all the time ty you and i appriciate it

How much were they charging and how much would you rather spend?

[Laxo]

they wanted 146 per tire and i saw online that i could get better tires for that price it came out to like 600+ sum im looking around 500+ installed or sumthing around that

Check out Tire Rack, Discount Tire, Discount Tire Direct, Belle Tire, etc. I believe I got a set of Sumitomo HTR T4 (the one rated for 75k miles) for about $450 total installed if I remember correctly through Belle Tire.

I usually go on the sites to check out pricing, and then go down to the store itself and purchase it (along with a printout of the price I saw online). I know with Belle Tire, if you sign up for their club thing or whatever you get $20 off in addition for being a new member.

If you buy online like with Tire Rack you can choose to have it shipped to your house or to one of their approved tire shops. Then you come into the shop where it was shipped and have it done there. You'll have to pay for installation in addition to the price of buying the tires, keep that in mind. Pretty much same with all the other places, if you buy online through Discount Tire or Belle Tire, you can choose to have it shipped to you, or to one of their specific franchises.

Pirelli P4 four season 225/55/17 $140 a pc. but they worth it.
best tires I ever had and I went through many different sets.
Had Michelin energy before- complete crap vs P4.
