I'm in the process of getting the tires on my 4WD replaced.

Thinking of getting 235 Toyo's to replace the 235 Michelins my truck (99 Series I Rover Discovery) came with. I was advised not to increase the tread to 255 by the manufacturer.

I went to a fairly large New England chain - Town Fair Tire - for a quote. Including installation, balancing, and disposal, the bill would be north of $600. I was told subsequent rotations would be free.

Should I keep shopping around for a better deal, maybe from a smaller mom-and-pop type of place? I haven't checked out Goodyear yet, but something tells me they will be similar in price.

It's so easy to overspend on this car.

Thanks in advance!
