My local Discount Tire Co. quoted me $515 today to get four new Falken Azenis tires mounted and balanced. Is this a decent price, or should I check around pricing online?

 

hanabi's are wheels, not tires. the wheels alone go for just a tad over $400 shipped, with some new good tires to be mounted on em, prolly looking at around $750 total depending on the tire and such.

If they are tires, what size are they?

 

Holy **** guys, I'm not dumb i swear...I just realized, i had just looked at tim's new thread about the other guy that bought hanabi's when i posted this. i was talking about azenis...my bad.

and the size is 205/50R

 

typically Vulcan Tire has the best price online for Azenis. Check that out before you buy

around or under $350 shipped for 205/50R15. mounting and balancing is usually around $80 give or take.

 

The good thing about going with places like Discount Tire and whatnot is the warranty you get. I usualy get the extended one where if anything happens to your tire you can just drive it in there and they'll give you a new one no charge. It's worked out pretty well for me in the past with blowouts and running over nails and whatnot.

 

Sounds like it would be 100 cheaper to get them online, but i get the warranty if i go through discount tire...i'll see if maybe they have some kind of price matching service.

 

Here's the best bang for the buck on the planet:
