You're waking up, & I'm getting ready to go to sleep..

New Tires here cost a lot more than $30.. Depending on size & brand, but a decent 17" tire is over $100. each.

Pretty similar to canadian prices. Almost worth a trip down to the states to get new tires.
Im looking at Falken FK452 in 225/55/16 or Kumho Ecsta in 245/50/16 for $570 before taxes, including valves, install and balance.
The Continental Extreme DWS looks good even though its an all season, its $630 but hard to find in stock.
Still looking, going to another tire place tomorrow.
