Default My Experience Buying Tires On-Line.

Hey guys,

Ordered some NTO5r tires at 275/40/17 for $190 a piece. With shipping, labor for install, labor for balancing and full alignment I paid - $518.16 which is a pretty good price (atleast I think). I was going to use American Muscle.com but I felt weird for buying from a mustang site, plus I had the tires sent to a tire service center of a provided list for install. Did I make a good purchase ya or nay?

2 tires at 190$ each shipped plus tax was $410, then balance and install both was 38$ total. Aligning the car is 65$ plus tax.

Just bought a pair there myself. Cheap and good selection. My new favorite tire site. Also agree on the price. Not to shabby.

Can't speak on behalf of the deal you got, but I can say that American Muscle has some great deals on a lot of things, and free shipping. I ordered a set of 4 wheels there once on Wednesday night at like 8pm, and they were on my door step when I got home from work Friday evening. Everything I've ever bought there has shipped insanely quick and they have some great sales and discount codes.

DEF a place I'll keep in mind, I did call them but I got a package deal which was a little easier.
