Just to give you guys a heads up...
I visited my local Costo Tire Center today.
The BFG g-F T/A 235/50WR18 97W tire is $138 + $2.50 (disposal) + Sales Tax.
This INCLUDES...
Mount
Balance
5YR Defect/Hazard Warranty - no mileage
(Since the tires cannot be normally rotated)
This was the lowest installed price I could find today.
The tires have to be prepaid ordered, and they will take
5 - 10 business days to arrive.
Once they are there, you get a phone call to come in and get them put on.
Then you can go to the shop of your choice for a wheel alignment.
The nice thing about their shops are that they are wide open
and you can watch the whole process.
They have a touchless mounting machine that grabs the wheel
from the inside and puts pressure on the tire to dismount the bead.
The only thing they don't have is the Hunter Road Force balance machine,
but the Manager there says they have never had a need for it.
"If you get a tire that has a shimmy in it and we can't balance it out,
we'll just order you a replacement, until we get a tire that's perfect."
