you're getting new tires for 20" rims from the dealership?????? why not just go online and shop around and then go to Americas tires or something and have them price match it or beat the price and just drop your car off there and have them do it. dealership is always expensive.

You can never tell what a stealership will charge, sometimes they offer the best prices...Just had the toyota dealer install 4 new on the wifey's 03 Sequoia. They really had the best price and the alignment was included... dealer price was better than Sams club, and they don't do alignments. It is a dealership though and they are 20's so I'd keep the lube handy just in case.Jp

i didnt even look at where it said you were from.... most places will price match or even beat a competitors advertised price by a certain amount so thats why i said to shop online and then go into a store and have them price match so you can get it right away but for the best price.

Just make sure you put it on the back wheels, never put a spare tire on power wheels!

I think you should be fine. I have a feeling it's just that he's got some nail problem for where he drives to. I was contemplating getting those tires but couldn't find a deal on them the same as I did for the Kumho SPT's that I got.
