I'm trying to find a set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs in the Bay Area from a local dealer, specifically near San Jose. I've tried going to Kumho's official site and went through their list of "dealers" and called them up, but I haven't found anyone that has the Ecsta SPT. Can anyone in the area help out? I'm not really big on ordering them online as of right now. Yokohama AVS ES100's will do as well. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

Well, I'm not sure why you don't want to order them online, but... I guess that's your business. If you'd consider ordering them by phone rather than from a website, you can do so from the Tire Rack as well as from Discount Tire.

Discount Tire carries both brands. You can find your nearest Discount Tire here.

Another possibility is to look up the names of Tire Rack installers in your area, here, and try calling them. Many of the installers will be happy to sell you tires themselves, rather than you ordering them from the Tire Rack, and they will usually honor the Tire Rack's prices. The downside of doing so is that you have to pay sales tax, whereas you usually don't pay sales tax when ordering tires (either using a website or over the phone) from a company that doesn't have any retail facilities in your state (the Tire Rack doesn't). You may or may not need to pay shipping though.

 

The only reason I wasn't considering ordering online was the cost of shipping, then take it over to get it mounted/balanced...but it actually doesn't seem so bad. Hm, in that case I'll keep ordering online open. And since that's open, I really don't need any more help; hahaha. Whoops. Thanks for the help!

No prob.

Incidentally, compare the total cost of the order, including shipping and tax. If you buy from the Tire Rack, you will pay shipping, but no tax; figure around $37 for shipping a set of four tires. If you buy from Discount Tire, you will pay sales tax, but no shipping. Also, if you decide to get the Yokohama AVS ES100, Discount Tire has a deal for a $50 rebate on a set of four through October 29, and the Tire Rack doesn't, so factor that into your price comparison as well.
