Just a quick note. Through this Saturday, Discount Tire Direct has a deal for $100 off any set of tires (or wheels) ordered from their website. And their prices include free shipping. So, with this deal, you're looking at prices like these, INCLUDING shipping, for a set of four tires:

Kumho Ecsta SPT 195/55-15 $192
Kumho Ecsta SPT 205/50-15 $184
Falken Azenis RT-615 205/50-15 $268
Falken Azenis RT-615 215/45-16 $344
Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/50-15 $184
Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/45-16 $228

As for which tire to get, as I often post (such as in this topic):

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by nsxtasy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Roughly 90 percent of the time, people fall into one of the following three categories:

a. People who want the maximum traction on dry pavement, and don't care about anything else. These are usually people who sometimes use their street tires in autocross or on the racetrack or in brisk drives on curvy roads. The best tire for such folks IMHO is usually the Falken Azenis RT-615, which is available in Integra sizes of 195/60-14*, 205/50-15, 215/45-16, and 205/40-17, depending on your wheel size. These tires don't last all that long - treadlife of 10-12K miles is typical - and they are only so-so in rain. But if you only care about dry grip, they're the bomb.

b. People who want good traction on dry pavement, but also want good traction in rain and also care about value (purchase price and/or treadlife), and who DON'T use these tires in snow (either it doesn't snow where they live, or they have separate tires or another vehicle for winter conditions). These are usually people who use their tires for everyday driving. The tires I most often recommend for these folks are the Kumho SPT and the Avon Tech M500, which are available in Integra sizes of 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. I recommend the Yokohama ES100 in 195/60-14* for those with 14" wheels. All of these tires have very good grip on dry pavement, are excellent in rain, and last a reasonably long time (25-40K miles).

c. People who need to use the same tires in snow during the winter as well as in moderate to warm temperatures the rest of the year. These folks need all-season tires, which are a compromise; they have the flexibility to be used in a wider range of weather, but they're not as good in winter as true winter tires and they're not as good the rest of the year as summer tires such as those mentioned above. For these folks, I recommend the Kumho ASX in 195/55-15, 205/50-15, 205/45-16, and 205/40-17. For those with 14" wheels, I recommend the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position in 195/60-14*.

All of these tires are reasonably priced, and are the best you can get for your money in each of these categories, IMHO. You can get them shipped from places like Tire Rack, Discount Tire (whose higher prices are offset by free shipping), and Vulcan Tire.</TD></TR></TABLE>

*Note - references to 14" wheels above are for other Integra models, and do not apply to the Type R.

Disclaimer: I have no association with Discount Tire, and just thought folks would be interested in hearing about the lowest tire prices I've seen in quite a while.

 

good looking out

 

order being placed today actually

 

Just when I need a set of winter rubber.

I love Ken. :heart:

 

I'll be ordering a set of Azeni's today Thanks for the heads up!

 

P.S. I just ordered a set of the SPT in 195/55-15 for the GS-R...

 

Wow, great deals, good looking out man.

I'm ordering an extra set of 205/50/15 SPTs just to hold onto for that price.

 

Good looking out

 

Wow, great deals! Good job, Ken

Ever seen this deal before? Once a year thing maybe? Too damn broke right now to order a set. :?

 

Go figure .....

As soon as I tell my self "no more for this year ... get the rest in the spring" this comes up!

I need to get a set of 205/40/16 Azenis, but they cost $660 up here for the set.

Man, am I ever going to be pissed off in the spring when I pay way more knowing that this sale happened ....

Crap!

Thanks though

 

Thanks Ken!

I have bald falken azenis on my prelude right now... STILL.

and by bald i mean really, really bald. (and was holding out to find a tire deal)

I guess I owe you walker brothers! soon!

-cn

 

if i had the extra money i would be buying some for my daily...thats a hellova deal

 

absolutely awesome... i need a much larger garage

 

Those Azenies are CHEAP!! I just wish I had wheels that would fit those tires.

 

Oh Snaps! I'm going to use this opportunity to try the new Yokohama S. Drive tire. This is the new model that is to replace the ES 100s.

 

Good looking out, I just ordered some RT 615 215/45/16's for dirty cheap lol. Sweet!

They offered the same thing a few months ago, IIRC. Just for a few days, and I don't remember if it was $100 but I think so. This time it's getting a lot more publicity, is even listed in the top deals on slickdeals.net.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I'll probably have to pick up a set of Azenises for next year

 

Great find.

BTW, the Discount matches the Vulcan tire price for the 615's @ $73 each in a 15".

 

ah screw it ill buy some when i get home

With this deal, you get a set of Azenis RT-615 in 205/50-15 for $268 including free shipping. Vulcan charges $73/tire plus shipping, typically $10-12/tire, so you'll pay $332-340 at Vulcan including shipping.

If you get Discount to match Vulcan's $73 price, I'm guessing you can only do so by calling them over the phone, which means you don't get the $100 discount on the set, which it says you can only get with internet orders. (If you're saying you can get a set for $73 each and still take the $100 off, i.e. for $192 shipped, that's an even more awesome price... but I doubt you can actually do that.)

 

dude hell yeah thanks a ton!

 

Wow good lookin out

 

Dang, such sweet deals! Thanks!

 

Thanks for the heads up!
