If you only have to replace one tire...probably around $250 to $300...
Depend on how many miles you have on the tires..might be better to replace both set..

Go to www.tirerack.com and check their price, look at their list of approved installers in your area and then tell the local tire dealer that you want to pay Tire Rack prices. You can forget retail because nobody pays it.

The tire itself will probably be less than $200 but mounting will be included and you pay for balancing.

Damaging the wheel will be your biggest concern, as I have found out.

This makes no sense. Its your car. Don't you know what tire brand you have on it? How can someone else confirm what you have on your car over the web?

Don’t go to the dealer unless you have a tire protection, check your local tire shops most likely you’ll get a better deal
