Default Just replaced the tires on the SAAB...

Just got back from Discount tire, had them put 4 new tires on the Wagon. Stayed with the stock 215/55/16 size. Falken Ziex ZE-512's paid 398.10 out the door. Discount Direct had them listed at 77.00 each so the local store gave me that price plus installation and tax. Needed new tires and I want new rims so for now those will do, until I can buy a rim/tire package or find the rims I want and get tires separately. That's the cheapest set of 4 tires I've put on in a long time.

I had the 512's on the Civic before I sold it. They were so good for the money.

I wish I can pay that much for 4 tires again. I just paid $650 for two.

Ahhh the fun of owning an M3...

I was looking through my bank statements and I paid $670 for the 4 Continental ContiExtremeContacts that I have on the RSX-s at Discount Tire. Got a real deal because the repair shop that worked on the RSX-s paid 170 something for them when I had the accident.

I've had a set of 512's on the Accord for about 3 years now and have been really happy with them. I've put about 20k miles on them and they're still going strong. For the price you can't them. :thumbup:

I've only had the SAAB for about 3 months and have already put over 4300 miles on it. I put these on because of price and that I want to save up to put 17 or 18 inch rims and of course tires on it. Once I do that I'll put these (stock rims and tires) in the garage and they can go back on when I want to sell or trade it in.

I think I paid $350ish back in the day.
