I've used the price matching every time by printing out the same tire cheaper on Ebay. My only complaint is they have a new policy of no longer grinding and sealing wheels.

I'm even thinking about trying a set of these Barum tires at $99 each at Discount Tire on my 2003 later this year or early in 2023. Discount classifies both this and the Ohtsu FP7000 tires both as "better". Discount currently sells the Ohtsu in my area for $117. For me, I'm usually replacing tires due to age and not overall wear.

Greg, the ones I posted yesterday are the ones Ron McCloud, Thunderbird Bob, and several others rave about. They show as $340 to the door from Discount Tire Direct via Ebay, which is essentially the same as the unknown ones you posted. You can even have them sent directly to whoever you want to mount them. Of course, just like Ron, you could be doing us all a favor by discovering another good inexpensive tire.21 years, 174K miles, 48 States X 2 & DC, 9 Canadian provinces, 8 European countries, 3 Caribbean Islands, 3 Hawaiian Islands, 100+ National Park locations, 150+ T-bird events, 190+ retrobird diecasts/models, 13 TOTM pics & some very special friends...THANKS TBN !Comment

I've been driving with those since March 2009 (not the same set all those years) and just recently learned Vogue is credited with creating whitewall tires.Originally posted by AZTB View Post
