New tires for YARIS

[ctrj]

Figure it this way--

$125 x 4 tires = $500
Labor for mounting and ballancing (1.4 hours) $140
Wheel weights, tires tax, disposal $20
Alighnment $100

$760 + tax

Labor at a dealership is always higher. Try to negotiate on the tire price. Bring a quote from somewhere else to see if they will match it.

I work at a Tire wholesale Dist..We carry Yoko,Falken,Mastercraft,Bridgestone/Firstone, all of Goodyears,Mich. Replace of OE Bridgestone Potenza RE92 that will be about right cost is $91.57 each.. Yoko TRZ i a great tire it is a 80k mile tire cost is $60 each.Falken 912 are a 30k mile tire.GDY,General,Cont are just not worth it JUNK.Mastercraft made by Cooper are good Avenger Touring LSR run about $60 each.These are wholesale prices.

The first mistake is paying $125 a tire for the Yaris.

You can get a great high rated 80K tire for $60-$70 each.

$140 to mount and balance? Most shops will do it for under $60.
DiscountTire and Tirerack does it FREE with wheel purchase.

Alignments' about right but many shops will do it for $80.

Exactly. nobody charges $140 to mount and balance tires. Shit...I can't count the number of times Town Fair Tire has done it for nothing even If I didn't purchase the tires or wheels there!!!!

No reason you can't get a good set of tires for $350 or so and have the whole changeover done, with alignment, for around $450 OTD. $780 is beyond laughable!
