costco often alternates between michelin and bridgestone coupons. march was bridgestone, the next one might be for michelin. the $70 off basically negates the install fee

I would check back with pep boys, the guy must have made a mistake, or you live in an expensive area! I also paid 76 per tire, but installation was like $10 per tire including the warranty. Maybe you have to sign up for their free rewards program (I did, and received additional $50 gift card on top of $76 prepaid visa). I paid just over $400 up front for h727.

yep, expensive here in the chicago burbs i guess. got another quote from midas and it was appr. $550 for goodyears. seems like a lot of money for tires for this car-maybe i'll check the sunday papers and see if anything is a decent deal. but, i need tires pretty soon. thanks for everyones help and i sure don't think i have tpms on my yaris.

a good bet would be yokohama avid touring-s in this size. good tire for the money. At my work (ford/toyota dealership) I'd quote you retail 76 a tire for these (plus yokohama has a 100 rebate right now).
I'm back and forth on Hankook, we've seen a few quality issues with them on fords (ford uses hankook extensively for oem fitments).

Take a road trip up to Madison. I'm looking into pricing on having them mounted/balanced soon myself. I'll keep you posted on what I find up here. Might be worth the few hour drive.

just ordered the yokohama avid touring -out the door price all inclusive comes to $423. they will call when they come in for me to get them installed. i'll let you guys know what i think after i get them. thanks for all of the help choosing one.

like the new yokohama's-took a few days to get used to, hope they end up being decent tires. the yaris rides a lot different with these tires on
