Where to buy cheap tires?

[RottenRonny]

I need a set of rubber for my 1977 camper van. Given that the camper van isn't even worth $500 bucks, you can see my reluctance to spend much money on rubber for it.

I got a quote from the Coop station back home for $72 + installation + taxes. (235/75R15) Do you think there is any better deals to be found in Regina?

Is there any big Canadian online tire retaillers like TireRack that anyone uses?

Try some of the Tire shops, some of them will sell brand new blemished tires pretty cheap...

Thanks. I'll try that if I can't get (below) to pan out.

Canadian tire has them in the flier this week at 65.99 each. I'll more than likely go with that. Hopefully they'll just sell me the rubber as the camper is back at the parents farm. (Costco wouldn't give any price other than a mounted on the rim price.)

That is because we won't sell tires unless we mount them. Too many people in the past would buy tires, get them installed improperly and come back claiming them on warranty. Not to mention people would buy the wrong size and speed rating on the tire and when they had problems with the car they blamed Costco for selling it.

That is the same reason we will be changing our electronics return policy soon. Too many people taking advantage of the return policy.

I ended up getting the ones from Canadian Tire. They didn't have any problems selling the tires loose.

Getting them mounted here really wasn't an option since the Camper is 450kms north of here.

On a side note, you can just fit 4 of them into a Mustang.

Awesome.
