been holding off as long as I could cause it's damn expensive to get a set of tires. Best deals I've seen online are some Michelin's for $136 with out the door price just above $700 at discount tire. Also have been told that getting used tires might be cheaper....what say ye sixpack?

They are really good and I have gotten really good service from them. They have always lasted me longer than the tread mileage numbers and they do not sell to the car companies direct--this allows them to maintain a constant standard, without cutting corners to sell in bulk. Just got a set for my SUV of Discoverer H/T mounted and balanced for $550 with a 60,000 mile tread warranty--should get 70,000 to 80,000 miles if they perform like the rest.
You can read reviews and even watch some reviews. I've only ordered from them once, but they showed up in less than 24 hrs with normal shipping. Saved a bundle too. A mount and balance should only cost about $10 a tire. Even with that added in, I still saved a good chunk of change.

I found some for my SUV on there that were almost new. Lots of people buy a new truck and then put mud grips on in and sell the brand new tires that came with it.
Also, I bought some Cooper tires at a place in Houston, MS that were x-outs, meaning the raised lettering was defective so they could not sell them retail. Tires themselves had a full warranty. Got a set of 18's for my Armada for less than $400.

Top of the line tires. Also Firestone Destinations for trucks/SUVs. But the Bridgestone tires will be unbeatable. Pricey, but well worth the money. I've worn out 5 sets on two different trucks. Easily 60 to 75k miles if you take care of them.
Sears used to sell them but I have never used their service. Other sellers may be available. Goodyear has been a good performer for me. Would never buy used tires. Also recommend you ask for date the tires were made...some dealers may have "new" tires on shelf that were made two years ago so beware. My preference is to do the whole deal with a tire service center rather than buy online then go and ask someone to install and balance them.</p>
Cooper and Goodyear. As previously stated, the Coopers in the US are made here: they own a British firm in order to sell in Europe. Goodyear also has production in the US: not sure about overseas. I like the Coopers for the fact they are excellent tires and have always lived on way past their treadlife warranty, are a US owned and US produced tire and that many are made in Tupelo.
