New Tires

Hankook RH06

I just intalled a set of Hankook RHO6 265/50-20 Saturday $608.00 flat at a shop in Middle Village I found online. I noticed it gives a softer ride than the fuzion tires I had on. Not cushy but a little softer. I like them and my little one probably is not going to complain.:wink (2):
 
Tires are in my near future as well. I'm really only considering 265/50-20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X and Hankook RH06. Here's my online price comparison for 4 tires:

tirerack.com
Yokohama - $628 + $60 shipping = $688
Hankook - RH06 not available, but RH07 for $620 + $60 shipping = $680

discountiredirect.com
Yokohama - $688 + free ship
Hankook - $639 + free ship

tires-easy.com
Yokohama - $763 shipped
Hankook - $747 shipped


Some or most add sales tax. Plan on adding $100 for mounting 4.

$608 OTD is a great price.
 
Here's the latest of what I'm being told:
Yokomaha Parada Spec X seem to be difficult to find now. The distributors are being told 8-12 weeks as an estimate only. Some retailers are having trouble figuring out what to believe.
Hankook RH06 are being discontniued and replaced by RH07.

I was planning on getting the Yoko's for $788 OTD.
After today's research, I have special ordered the kook's RH06 for $650 OTD with added bells and whistles. 2 weeks to wait.
 
When i orderd my yokohamas from discount tire direct, i called them up and said i found it cheaper on tire rack and they gave it to me for tire racks price before shipping. Pretty much tire racks price with free shipping.

Both Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct would get the Yoko's to my door for $688. (Then it'll take another $100 to mount.) I was ready to enter the cc#. Going the impersonal online route, one of them (I forget which) indicated shipping delay. After talking with a couple of trustworthy local tires shops that gave insight to mfg out of stocks, I decide not to mess with an online reseller that may or may not be able to deliver.
I good shop will take good care of me and limit all the hassle. I've done the hunt and pick home delivery before from Jegs and Coker Tire. It's more work than fun for sure.
