I did this too. When I got mine, they offered a 100 rebate for buying 4, and free mounting and Balancing.Quote:

I'm on my 3rd set (3 different vehicles). I've read some bad reviews/comments about those GY's on different truck forums, most common gripe is no grip in wet weather and poor wear.
Go to your local tire store and ask em if they have any pull offs. My tire buddy pulls factory tires off of new trucks and puts custom tires and wheels on fer folks and then sells their tires. This is how I buy mine and I buy a set about every 9 months. Normally get a set fer half price or less and most of em have less than a 1000 miles on em.
I hate buying tires. It's almost as bad as buying cars. Even when I find a deal, I feel like I'm getting taken to the cleaners.
Anywho...I gave in years ago and started doing bidness with Gateway since it's convenient. One thing I do like is their lifetime balance, rotate and tire service. With a new set of tires from them, they will rotate and balance for free for the life of the tires. Also, flats are free. Over the ownership of the tires, that will save you more than the $200 in potential savings you're looking at.
My Dad did his business with them as well. He was tickled pink with them because he was out at the hunting camp so much, flat tires were a frequent occassion. He told me once that he had kept up with a set of tires he had and they had repaired 114 flats for him over their life without a single charge or any flack about it......I sure would have liked to have seen the inside of those tires before he replaced them. Prolly had so many plugs they looked like swiss cheese.

True, and knock on wood, but I havent had a tire plugged in over 3 years. Bout the time I got away from 4x4's
Get away from 4X4s? Are you nuts? Just get you a real 4X4.
No 4x4, chick truck, now sissy tires. Why don't you get a Prius and make the transgenderization complete. Pfffft.

Works out the same as a tire store except I dont get road hazard on them. I use Homerskelton in Olive Branch MS.Quote:
