My local Firestone dealer has been great to work with and gets most of my tire business. :thumbsup:

I called a small dealer-- And they told me $130 per tire...

Yall will love this..
and I hope Messicks will chime in here....

I was the Bota dealer down south of me today at lunch...

Picked up the air filters, I checked mine and they are horrid.... but that is another story..

Asked about the tires..

they told me $235 PER TIRE... and that the tire itself was 2 different models... a Left and a right.. I said huh???? he said the treads are different on left side ag's versus right side ag's.. I said really? He confirmed it.. 2 different part numbers in the computer....


UH???????? I can see that MAYBE for the wheels... but really the tires??????

I buy tires from my local tire store that has been in business for over 40 years. Most local tire stores can get you anything you want from their distributor.
