[Spearmin]

Ye

I personally like the "we arent responsible if your wheels fall off because we didn't torque your lugnuts" clause.

Yeap.. Must have happened before lol.

Slather on that red loctite!! Also make sure they throw on a tack weld for added security!!


Glad I bought my Patagonia’s when I did. Ended up $1200 OTD (without certs) for all 5. Another $130 in adaptors on my own time. Still crazy pricing IMO.

As others have said, that’s three different options so the $7k total has no bearing. Pardon the pun. Or don’t.

Good deal, maybe give @Discount Tire an opportunity to earn your business?

I think you will find this at all tire shops now-a-days. Many even have a clause that you need to come back to have the wheels torqued again after 20 miles or something.
You cannot really blame them though for covering their butts. Lots of folks looking to sue.

Those are actually VERY reasonable prices. I paid that for my 37" x 1250 x 17 Nitto RG.

Personally, I would take that to Discount Tire and have them price match. Get their Certs and lifetime balance and call it good.

2nd this. Discount tire will beat that on the Nitto RGs. Just Completed sale today.

Didn’t realize not in the Northeast

I don't see how this is hard to understand. If you actually LOOK at it you can see its 3 different items included in one quote. Pick the Tires you want and subtract the other 2 options.

That is dirt cheap for TPMS

Tazer = what TPMS?

 

[guarnibl]

Did you even read? LOL

But in all seriousness, I would have freaked out too seeing the total as $7k. It should have been 3 separate quotes.

 

[Techbrute]

I don't find that a bad price for 15 tires...

I can blame them. Wheels falling off is serious business. A wheel falling off on the highway has a good chance of killing someone. We take stuff like that much too lightly sometimes. Making sure the wheels are torqued correctly is probably one of the most important things you could do with a car lol. Like... if you can't torque wheels correctly you shouldn't be working on cars.

It's too bad we don't make that part of the DMV test. Show that you have a torque wrench and know how to check/change a tire!

(I realize now that I don't own a torque wrench for torquing my wheels, and I really should. I'm going to fix that. Thanks for the reminder lol.)

$250 in labor to mount and balance wheels? Plus $125 to install wheel spacers? Seems excessive to me.

I got

quoted 7k to swap out to 35s/37s Cooper Discoverer STT Pros and add extensions. It must have been a typo?

Maybe there is a page missing and it also includes an upgrade to Dana 60s.
