Truck needs new tires who do I go to? northern ri

Truck needs new tires who do I go to?

Looking at Cooper discoverer ht's 245/75r16 (the at3's were too aggressive I mostly drive highways)

My normal guy is out, he quoted me 393% markup cost for parts plus labor on shocks and struts, he can F.O.A.D. (ordered the parts from Toyota and did them at the impound shop )

Domination takes full concentration..

Vic Sullivan Tire or other similar chains are worth checking to see when they have their buy 3 get 1 free deals! They might even offer it to you if you mention it?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Check with Charlie at Ricks Tire on 102 in North Smithfield. I just bought 4 tires for my full size 4WD GMC pickup. $500 complete, mounted and balanced with a front end alignment.

No boat, back in the suds.

Absolutely not Mike. Brand new tires. 265/75 R16. Vanderbuilt Turbo/Tech all season radials. Charlie treats me very well as I have him service all my vehicles and I bought this truck from him 2 years ago.

"Our Radial and Bias Truck Tires offer all of the above in a hard working combination of Technology, Quality and Performance. At Vanderbilt, we understand that you can’t afford to stop moving, and our tires are designed to keep you rolling with confidence. Our Exclusive Sailun brand of Radial Truck Tires feature the Advanced Engineering, Superior On and Off Road Performance and Rugged Long Lasting Durability that today’s drivers demand, and our Power King Bias Truck Tires deliver the Exceptional Value and Reliability that are synonymous with the Power King name."

Done, had Bennys do them. $562 out the door, balanced and they corrected some toe out 2 year roadside.

That lifetime alignment at sullivans sounds good though
