#25 of 44 Re: New Tires At The Dealer OR Someplace Else? [poncho167] by flaaveo Feb 17, 2008 (5:52 pm)
Replying to: poncho167 (Feb 17, 2008 7:48 am) Only $28 a tire? and probably the same amount to mount them? Yes I have a Discount Tires very near me. I think Coopers are good tires, aren't they? They have a sale right now on a set of 4 tires for any subcompact car...for $78! They dont say what company makes them..but of course that is for the smallest 13in tire they carry. So I guess for our Aveo size..it is closer to the price you say you paid. I got to get something. The front ones are getting to bald...I know they wear out fast. but at 7K miles, they shouldnt look like these do. And since I only drive in the city, it is a lot for turns, so THEY say..that eats up the tires. I am not wasting more money on another rotation of crummy tires. I'll go get a set of new ones..that might last till i trade in, or sell and buy my next Ranger. Replies to this message: wave54 (Feb 18, 2008 9:35 am) poncho167 (Feb 20, 2008 10:56 am)

Replying to: flaaveo (Feb 16, 2008 2:45 pm) I have not heard of that offer at any of the Chevy Dealers around here (Orlando, FL) but I would be willing to try. Are your Chevy dealers near Orlando? I have had good luck with the cheap tires that came with the car as well. I usually buy my tires at Sams and they have always been good.

Replying to: flaaveo (Feb 17, 2008 5:52 pm) or sell and buy my next Ranger.   Hurry up -- I think it's the last year for the Ranger. I had one of the early models that I bought new in '83 and sold with 225K on it. Very durable and low-maintenance.   Yeah, I wouldn't spend too much on tires. That $28 deal at Discount Tires is worth looking into. I previously bought a set of LeMans at Firestone for about $45 each that were pretty decent. They're made by Bridgestone/Firestone like the Fuzions.

Replying to: flaaveo (Feb 17, 2008 5:52 pm) Discount Tires says they are made by Cooper. My S10 14" tires are slightly bigger than the Aveo so they should be less for your car than what I paid. I believe it was about $10 for the mounting, balancing, and valve stems. I am happy with the tires and wouldn't buy at Pep Boys. Pep Boys tries to find other things wrong with your vehicle while its in, and lies to the customer about things that need to be serviced. I do my own maintenance and they tried to pull this bs on me but I knew what I had to said no thanks.

I have a 2005 LS with 41k on it. I replaced my tires about a year and a half after i got the car. My problem now is pot holes. I hit one not to long ago and bent the steel wheel. I had it fixed, rotated the tires and had them aligned, the whole nine yards.   My husband is insisting that i get actual rims put on, possibly at 15" instead of te 14" stock.   Does anyone have any suggestions for rims, or know where I can find the specs for the tires?   I'd -really- like to get the set of LT rims, but i'm not sure where to find them.   Thanks!

Replying to: kisstin (Mar 10, 2008 5:49 pm) If you want factory rims, go to the dealer and buy them from the parts dept. That will cost probably over $1,500. OR go to a 'junk yard', and they might have Aveo rims in their parts section. OR you take them off a wrecked Aveo yourself at a the junk yard. Or go to any tire/rim store in your city, or a car parts store, and you can choose from hundreds of different type of rims from $300-$4,000! you dont have to have the factory rims. Sometimes on Ebay you can buy them, but usually only like 1-2 at a time. If you find them there, the shipping of just 1...could be VERY expensive. The specs for the tires are in your owners manual and on the sidewall of the tire,and on the drivers side door on the information plate on the lower part of the door pillar. If you need to know the specs for the 15in ones, they should be listed in your owners manual as well.

Replying to: busiris (Feb 16, 2008 6:24 pm) fuzion apparently doesn't carry tires in the same size. i've looked at tirerack and now 1010tires but i want real world reviews. i need to replace my two front tires (185/55r15) and nobody in ft worth seems to carry this size in stock. so, two questions .. 1 -- of the tires available in this size does anyone have real experience and can you give a recommendation? 2. costco recommended going up one size (wider). true or should i stay w/ the same size? i've got the '06 aveo lt hatchback. thanks for the help.

Replying to: sozekizer (Mar 29, 2008 2:13 pm) Normally, going up a size in width isn't a problem, unless you have really close wheel-well clearances, such as the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky.   Does Costco have the next larger size in stock, or readily available?   I replaced the original 185/60R14's on my 05 Aveo with A quality Goodyear 185/65R14 without any problems. It made a very slight difference on the speedo, but Aveo speedometers are notoriously off by up to 5-8 MPH anyway, as it comes from the factory.. Somewhere on the Aveo forums, there is a multi-posting discussion about this.   Just curious...how many miles on the front tires? I ask, only because the Aveos are pretty rough on front tire wear, so I would refrain from investing high dollar amounts in them. On my Aveo, I replaced the tires at the same time my daughter did on her 05 Corolla (alligned both front/back of both cars at this time)...the new front tires on the Aveo were pretty much shot after 20 K miles, but my daughter's Corolla has about 40K miles on the same Goodyear's, and the front tires barely show any wear...Just FYI Replies to this message: flaaveo (Mar 30, 2008 8:51 am)
