Apparently my factory alignment was shit, and the tires are already up for replacement. The workshop I went to gives me three options. Please let me know if the prices look good, and which among the three would be the best choice.

KENDA - 235/60R18 XL VEZDA TOURING 4S (KR211)
- Good (according to the workshop)
- $148 each, $724.67 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 60,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
BRIDGESTONE - 235/60R18 XL ALENZA AS ULTRA
- Better
- $259 each, $1256.14 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
YOKOHAMA - 235/60R18 AVID ASCEND LX
- Best
- $224 each, $1088.56 total, $100 extra for alignment
- 85,000 mile limited treadwear warranty

Please recommend which one of these is a better set of tires, or if you have a better recommendation elsewhere.

Thanks!

What is a good price for a good set of tires?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Costco is fine.

I have alternated between Costco and TireRack over the last few cars, mostly depending on my mood of the day.

For "my" car, I like to read the reviews and choose online at TR, and have them shipped to my mechanic for install.

For the others, an instant rebate sale at Costco on a set of Michelins is a no-brainer.

Edit to add: I misread "price" as "place" so the above is not "the answer" to your question.

I did briefly poke discount tire with the Yokohama tire from your list, and the cost is essentially same as your quote - just north of $1K without their extra warranty.

Just realised they're US prices, you guys get shafted for fucking everything

The Bridgestone ones are €150 here

The extra hundred is probably the tip lmao
