my 70 year old aunt drives a pacifica. It seems to be the type of vehicle targeted to that demographic.

$900 on tires?

i spend less than $900 on 4 of my vehicles (for tires)

5/30/2008 11:56:52 AM

I thought evan was rich?

5/30/2008 12:15:35 PM

My current set of tires ran me around $1200 for one set of wheels, and $500 for the other set of wheels. Both for the same car.

5/30/2008 12:29:08 PM

My uncle owns a tire dealership and he says all the suppliers around here are going up 12-18% next month. They already went up like 10% a few months ago.

5/30/2008 12:41:32 PM

Spent $100 for my last set of tires, including an extra set of rims.

Damn I love finding race take offs for my bike.

5/30/2008 12:56:18 PM

i have no idea why but this thread made me laugh histarically

5/30/2008 1:12:10 PM

i have michelin hydra-edge tires on my camry and those were $800

5/30/2008 1:33:00 PM

shit, my tires are only like 600 for a set of 4, and these are low profile, odd size tires. evan should have done his homework. buy tires online at a low price, go to some mom and pop service station to get them put on ftw. don't buy tires from dealers, they always jack up the price.

5/30/2008 1:33:12 PM

but what kind* are they and what kind of mileage can you expect out of your 'low profile' pieces of crap?

5/30/2008 1:38:52 PM

One set of 4 Pirelli P-Zero Nero 235/55/ZR17 at retail? Ballpark $800, and that doesn't include installation costs.

Last 2 brand new sets of 4 I've bought on eBay? Final cost <$700.

Also did the same thing for the Goodyear Gatorbacks I had on my last Mustang. I'm never again buying tires at retail.

5/30/2008 1:39:41 PM

i can buy a set of racing tires for $600

come on

5/30/2008 1:40:45 PM

toyo proxes st 305/40/r22. Cheapest/most milage for that size.

[Edited on May 30, 2008 at 1:43 PM. Reason : also NEVER buy avon tyres. worst mistake i ever made for my old car.]

They rotate them for free and give you a portion of your $$ back if they don't last as long as they should

Nothing wrong with the Pacifica it just looks like a vehicle for older dinks or maybe empty nesters. The shit-eating porn license plate should remove any doubt who's driving though.

Seriously though, it's an okay vehicle.

it is if you earn greater than 45k and you're single.

6/1/2008 1:09:12 AM

a pacifica?


seriously?

6/1/2008 5:08:14 AM

I've seen people drop 2 grand on tires alone.

Mine on the other hand were completely free. Unwritten employee benefits ftw.

no, it's not

that's still $900 i could have spent on other things

like crack

6/1/2008 5:25:30 AM

dude. i payed more before. got the michelin pilots. and my tires are staggered so you can't rotate them and they only last about 15K miles.

you did good. you didn't get pwnd.

6/1/2008 9:22:29 AM

my tires are 57$ each, lol 215/50R13

6/1/2008 11:30:22 AM

i just spent $500 on 4 214/45/R17's
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec's
they're gonna be the hotness when i mount them

[Edited on June 1, 2008 at 11:53 AM. Reason : they are pretty much the autocross tire of choice this year for non r-comp classes]

6/1/2008 11:52:15 AM

$900 might be a little more than average, but it's not THAT bad. an OEM set of tires for my Evo was like $1300, mounted and balanced, and they only last maybe 12k miles or so. The tires I replaced them with were about $750-800, mounted and balanced, and at 7k, they're all but down to the wear bars (although I would've pushed them another 3k+ if I hadn't sold the car).

My S2000 went through about $500 worth of rear tires about every 10k miles (the fronts would last maybe 20k. staggered sizes and directional tires, so I couldn't rotate them).

you can easily spend way more than $900 on truck tires, especially big offroad tires.

6/1/2008 12:40:01 PM

yeah I WISH the tires for my 'rango was only 900.

The Kumho sport tires for the Saab were under $300.

Michelin 10-ply rated on my Dodge diesel were $530 for the last pair I bought about 2 years ago. I need 2 more for the front now but I done spent my Economic Stimulus Rebate check.

Maybe I need to stop driving that overpriced diesel sucking beyotch and get a pink Beetle or something, maybe a Miata.

6/3/2008 11:19:42 AM

have you thought about an italicized Chrysler minivan?
