[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 298560, member: 1963"] SUV tires cost a fortune. I recently had to replace the tires (same size) on my '02 Toyota SUV (no defects, they just wore out). WalMart has good tire prices especially if you have a Sam's Club nearby. Remember to replace all of your tires. You might, assuming it is the same brand and in good shape, be able to get away with not replacing the spare tire. Double check prices and add-ons very carefully. I found out that in my case despite the actual tires being cheaper at WalMart, once you added in mounting, balancing, safety checks and all the rest, it was actually cheaper to go with the dealership. Also, take a realistic look at your needs. You might not need the very top of the line 50K miles warranty if it is not likely you will have your tires for that long. Check how aggressive a tread you actually need (I live in the snowbelt and I need serious traction) Check speed-rating and look at your driving habits again. The unfortunate fact is that you are going to pay around 700 dollars for your tires. [/QUOTE]
