Default Need tires Windsor/Detroit area

Where do I go in Windsor/Detroit area for tires for 2005 convertible? I am not a speed demon, take the roof down and cruise around in the sun, Looking for tires that will last as opposed to pure summer performance tires.

What should I expect to pay?

Appeciate the offer, but I really don't have the time to drive 10 hours round trip to buy tires. Pretty sure any savings would be negated pretty quick if I went all the way to Buffalo for tires.

Great tires you are buying and hope all goes well on your group purchase.

Tommy

I usually just go to tirerack, take that price to my local discount tire and have them match/beat it

Try Kal Tire if you haven't got tires yet.

Have had them on the car for a very short time(maybe 1000 km). My car is not a good one to compare road noise, durability, traction. But I can say they hold air and they are better than the bald ones I had on the car!

They must have increased their price or something because I didnt have any coupons and it did not say sale on it or I would have posted they were on a sale and not at regular price.

Beaner, thanks, just wondering if I missed something.

Delta, I saw the $60 rebate but I only need two tires right now, 4 won't fit in the budget.

Gary.
