Hey everyone. I'm kinda in need for some help. I have two tires with bubbles They are Kumho 712's 225/40zr/18...the lowest I've found them for was $99 a tire...do yall suggest anywhere else that would have them cheaper?

Thanks in advance

i think you are better off buying locally since you are just buying tires and not a rim/tire combo. yes, it may be a tad more money per tire, but figure in shipping and mounting and balancing too (they may charge more for this since you are not buying the tires from them). also they will take better care of your rims and you get free flat repair and any problems with the tire are handled much easier locally.

Hey yall. Thanks for the replies! I have a set of 18" Racing Hart CR's with Kumho's 712 225/40zr/18 but two of them have a bubble in them and I'm a bit worried that they will blow and f up my rims. The local shop has kumho's for 210 a tire so that would be a total of 420 what a rip off...tirerack has them for 99 a tire...i figure 200 for two...but I don't know what the price would be for the local shop to mount/balance/rotate would cost... also...i don't have any springs or shocks...since the wheel gap is only about 2" or so...do yall think i would have to invest into a set of cambers? Thanks in advance once again yall!

Y r u putting a price on new tires?... if those pop... go bye-bye rims... or at least go bent-bent...

I know we all on a budget, but tires are the only thing hugging the road.
