Need New Tires

I have PS2's and the rears need replacing. 315/25/19's. Where to get them for the best price. Also can I run different brand tire in the rear?

TIA

they will sell for relatively the same price everywhere... just don't go to one of thoe big chain tire places like Mavis. if u have PS2 fronts don't screw with it and get another brand tire in the rear. if u want another brand get all 4 new. i would stick with PS2s, best tire around just doesn't wear well

sounds about right, retail is supposed to be 550. if u are gonna get them get quoted at a local shop. u will still have to get them mounted and balanced. if ur gonna pay about the same price u might as well get the balance and mount free. u can also try tiresavings.com... how much were the tires shipped to u from tirerack?

Go to Discount Tire in Bellevue. They have given better prices than even Tirerack could. Go Talk to Francisco and tell him I sent you. He's the one who's taking care of my new wheel order. I just ordered the exact same tire in te exact same size and made out good.
