I need a couple 225/17/40 tires for the car. What's the cheapest and best place to get them from? I was thinking walmart but I doubt they have that size in.

These are altima rims....

 

Check out Sam's and Costco.

Even after paying for the membership, you may come out ahead.

Tire Rack has given me good info, and prices in the past.

 

Yup costco has some killer deals. just find a friend that has membership and go with him.

or check out

edgeracing.com

 

about how much with some 225/40/17 costs?

They usually have free shipping.

 

I've like Discount Tire and Costco.

thanks for the answers

 

Edgeracing.com FTW!

 

why are you getting 225-40-17 tires?

for a maxima? with 17 inch wheels?

you should be running 235-45-17 or 225-50-17 or 215-50-17.....



EDIT: ahh altima rims. i see now

225/45/17 = good for 4th gen.
225/50/17 is for 5th gen.

 

I think Discount Tire would be everyone's best choice! That Road Hazard insurance is cheap and well worth it! I remember having a car that was involved in an accident and my insurance company covered the tires and wheels as well as Discount tire replaced the tires for free! A win, win situation and what they don't carry they will order for you, that includes wheels, tires, accessories, etc...

 

i have ordered from tire rack 5 or 6 times with no problems. i usually get my order in 1-2 days.

 

I've ordered 4 sets of tires through the tire rack in the last few years (2 winter sets and 2 summer sets) and for more than one car. Shipping prices are reasonable, their reviews are incredibly in depth and their tire prices can't be beat for the most part. When I was looking into getting new rims and tires I was checking out discounttiredirect because with free shipping, you can't beat it.

 

Quick little tid-bit...If you go the CostCo route, you can return anything and everything whenever (aside from electronics, which have a 90 day limit now). But to the point, if you buy a membership and then buy some tires, you can actually "return" your membership afterwards and get a full refund on the membership you bought after you buy the tires and you will for sure come out ahead. I had a few friends that worked there and CostCo will take a return on anything whenever. They had a few people return patio sets they bought 5 years beforehand that were all rusted to hell and got a full refund. I assume they still operate the same way as it's been about a year since they've worked there. It's a crappy way to beat the system and you should probably feel like an *** afterward, but hey...now you know

 

The rims are off a 2003 Altima SE.

Anyways, I don't know if I should spend so much money, the car is probably worth 1500 dollars tops and I want to get rid of it as is and get something a little newer. I might just go to the ghetto and get some 4 to 5 month used pieces of crap to throw on the car.

I'm trying to save for a better car as is, spending $300 bucks isn't too smart.

 

Go to your local tire joint and ask to look at their scraps. I've found a decent set in my day for 20$. Lasted quite a while.

Seems as if he is being a little more dollar conservative though ...

 

a 2003 altima SE is worth 1500 bux?

it must have had the **** beat out of it to be that cheap

 

2.5 ftL

 

$4.65 a gallon + 2.5 liter engine = win

 

I think he has a 4th gen with Altima rims.

 

QR25DE FTL

 

I get all my tires from www.tires.com.

 

1995 maxima with 2003 altima se wheels...

I'll check out some cheapies to put on it instead. I'll save all the links for when I get my real car.

 

man u should be able to find a used tire shop and get yourself so decent 225/40/17 for about $50 a piece installed. Hope their unidirectional, it sucks when you install a radial tire backwards from it's previously installed direction of rotation.....they turn into Maypops!

 

I've bought several sets of tires from Discount Tire Direct with great results. If you're not in a great hurry, check the website for a while and they may run a promo like $100. off on a set of 4. With free shipping too that is hard to beat.

 

edgeracing.com ftw

 

i bought my wheels and tires from discount tires direct , good place to deal with , great service. they have free shipping and like stated earlier road hazard warranty for the life of the tire.

 

What tires do you guys suggest for a 2000 Maxima SE? I'm trying to be reasonable in my budget, so I'm not interested in hearing about $200/each tires.

 

Well we're not interested in your 5th gen buddy

you belong here

... jk

but go to tire rack they have rankings for tires. also check the tire section here

 

i hate them i order wheels and the told me they did not have the tires i ordered so they made me get the $50 better tire for each and i had to pay for them ... so i canceled my order from them .... try wheels next

 

become friends with someone at a tire store and have them hook you up with their discount, the mark-up on tires is huge

 

I do recommend reading the tire rack reviews. I've used them for their reviews and found many a good tire that way. I also know how to "read" a tire's tread and sidewall to see if it is what I want.

 

Over the course of two months, I went to the same place three times and got three different printed quotes. The difference between highest and lowest was about 230 bucks on a set of four.

 

if it was within the last year, I'm not surprised. Tires have been going up in price alot lately which isn't terribly surprising considering they are made out of...........
oil

 

yes sir..especially if ur local like me :-p
