Saw today that tirerack started a 70$ off promotion on all michelin tires..
Priced up a set on 16" steelies
I like tirerack's website and selection but DTD is a much "friendlier" company
Ie they treat you like a neighbor..
at tirerack you are number 233232 and if you have an issue.. they dont really seem to care.
So I always give DTD a chance to earn my business after I check out prices at tirerack.
Tirerack was 56x4+117x4 + 107 shipping no tax.=800$ -70 rebate.
DTD was origionally 853+tax after pricematch 700$ with no rebate to fill out. their rims require lugnuts so they tossed in a set free..and also free upgrade to roadforce balance.
There is tax in ohio but the price was 700.01$ out the door
DTD=winner. The rims were backordered but should be in tomorrow(or wends) and shipping is about 1day from columbus to akron.
edit: the size was 205/65r16
stock is 215/65r16(but not available from dtd)
215/70r16fit but tight and you have to buy latitude xice xi2(22$ more a tire)..
and 205/70r16 isnt made.
Other thoughts.. With AWD I have no deep snow worries. I mainly wanted a tire thats better on ice, good RR for saving a few pennies and wears decently.
These tires are all that and sacrifice a small amount of deep snow traction for "regular tire feel"
The ride and noise on my gf's 2010 accent with these is much better than the OEM tires.
My first choice was conti EWC's but they are backordered till 12-16-2011
