Tires: Tire Shopping, toyota tercel, inch tires


Question
I have a 98 Toyota 4-Runner and am in need of new tires (165, 70).  My budget is extremely tight right now.  I have seen them advertised for between $120 and $150 for standard tires (40,000 mile warranty,I believe).  Can you recommend a website, or facility that could save me substantial money on new tires?  Thanks.

Answer
First off, you have your tire size wrong.  A 165-70 is a toyota tercel passenger tire.  A 4 runner has 16 inch tires that are between $100-150 a piece depending on what brand you want.  Michelin is the most popular.  I'd suggest you looking into private label tires if your budget is thin.  Try Goodyear, TireRack, etc.
