Although that may not be worth the small price difference. Unless the above is a better tire.


Its an older tire. But still a good one and thats not a bad price. I'd take the Ecopia's though. Newer technology. Better all around.

No thanks...I know there are cheap tires available but thats not the highest priority.

Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia 235/70R16:

Tirerack: $520 + $80 shipping + $100 local install = $700.
(several online tire stores were similar)

Local Firestone: Total installed $644

I'd much rather go to the local Firestone not only for the store benefits but also ease of warranty claims or any other problem that may crop up.


If last year's sales are any indication, you can probably get either the manufacturer rebate doubled or an additional $100 off from DTD, slightly more with their CC as well. I'd think the first chance might be a Memorial Day sale.
