hi. i recently had the misfortune to hit a pothole and the front tire developed a small bump. the nissan service center by me wants about $350 for each tire. (ridiculously high). anyone knows of a place to buy on line cheaper. also i found the dunlop direzza dz101 for a good price. can anyone addvice about this tire or suggest a different one for my 2003 touring Z.thank you

I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first. Good news is that you don't have to pay 350 for one tire. The bad news is that you are supposed to change two tires at a time. Yes you can find your tire cheaper (tires.com) but instead of one you should get two. This will help with the eveness of the tire wear and overall balance of the car...sorry to hear about your misfortune ...I have shopped around and found 225 45 18s for around 170 to 200 bucks installed w/ everything
