How much did you spend on new tires
 
Gonna need some new tires for my 08 coupe. How much did everyone spend on a set of 4? How much is to much? Was mounting included? Lets hear what ya'll got!

about 2k at costco for my z06 for michelin ps2s.

A set of 4 PS2 ZP cost me $1600 about 2 weeks ago. However I work in the car business and was able to get them direct from a supplier with no retail markup.

Don't replace with runflat junk and you can do it for well under $1k... plus your car will perform better. I already did my front tires due to a nail, and I'm about to do my rears as well.

It really depends on what type/brand of tires you want.

Highly suggest you keep a very close eye out on the C6 Parts For Sale Section as you can find some great deals there. Check that section often.

Just a few weeks ago I was able to purchase a complete set of Goodyear OEM Z06 tires that had just been removed from a new Z06 for $948, including shipping! I was not planning to purchase Goodyear runflats again, but the deal was just too good to pass on.

something like $750 for Kumho SPT's shipped from tirerack...then another 50-60 to mount balance, IIRC

This is where I am headed in a few months.....I like the local Discount Tire staff and they will price match Firestone or Tire Rack.

So what'd you do in your non-runflat car when you catch a flat??? Or does yours just sit in the garage???:crazy::crazy::crazy:

Well, in case of the super rare instance that I get a rapidly deflating flat and can't make it to a garage, I have a bottle of fix-a-flat in the car.

And the rest of the time I drive around with gobs more traction and a smoother ride. Plus I saved about $1000. Sounds like a super obvious no brainer to me. Or maybe I'm just :crazy:
