Good deal on tires
I usually buy through tirerack, but found a site called giga-tires and got Continental ContiPro's 255/45/18 for $159 each, which is before a $110 mail in rebate (net $137/tire). Delivery to a PepBoys for the set was $65 plus $110 for installation. Tire codes were from Spring 2024, so not a bad deal. And these Conti's are quieter than the General G-Max tires I had previously. All in all, a good deal.

interesting reviews and comments about this company but most seem to be good.
This one though caught my eye as konda points out how you cannot trust what you read on internet when you get such opposing views in this thread.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM GIGA-TIRES.COM : r/tires
Glad you are happy and did check date code... some sites do sell really old tires
I will add them to my site list for tires searches.
Thx

Recommended is 10 years from the date code. However, tyres can show signs of cracking and degredation long before that. And tyres that rarely see daylight, ie on a garaged toy, are likely to last longer. A thorough visual inspection every 3 months or less would be prudent. In the UK with annual inspections, you'll soon be told if they're past their best. Obviously if you live somewhere without inspections, and choose to run them until they explode or the cords fall out then that liability is all yours to carry.
The spare in mine is the original Continental SC3 from 2006, almost new at a glance. It's fine as a temporary spare, but I wouldn't use it other than to get the car home.

I also buy my Michelin tires from Tirerack.com and have always been happy with the price and fast delivery. This past service on my S600 getting it ready for my annual Winter excursion to Florida, the Indy said one tire was wearing unevenly due to a worn suspension component. He replaced the part but also sold me a new tire from the nearby tire store. Turned out the price was $5 cheaper than Tirerack. Not significant, but I was really surprised.
