Another Tire Question
OK so after only about 4500 miles I got a screw in rear tire. Called 2 dealers got two different prices on tires one was for $131.00+tax the other was $140.00+tax, and about $37.00 for labor on mounting and balancing on wheel. Is this a decent tire price for a dealer? Seems that they have gone up some since the last time I bought one a few months ago....

I had the same issue, could not keep nails and screws out of the tires. Each time it was about $200 for tire and installation. However I did not go to dealer, these guys did it for me over lunch break. Michelin or Metzler tires are what I run.

that doesn't mean that we have to add to the risk factor.
some people are not comfortable with plugs while (obviously) others are. if it were me, i would plug it to get somewhere, then have a tube installed until the tire is ready for replacement (based of course on the amount of life left)

I agree, peace of mind is worth a couple of hunderd to me.
$175 mounted give or take is not that bad.
No great deal but not a rip off either.
