BuildersService Champion Author Oakland Posts:10,851 Points:1,651,485 Joined:Jan 2008	Message Posted: Sep 3, 2009 10:18:37 AM Ignore BuildersService Report Abuse I usually research multiple tire brands for the size / style / intended service of tire(s) needed. Then decide on UTOG ratings, and then LOOK FOR LOWEST PRICE for selected choices. Just bought 4 new CONTINENTAL tires (UTOG 600 A A ) with established on-line wholesaler for $71- each, UPS delivery in 3 days, mounted & balanced locally for $15.-/wheel. Total cost was $100- less the quote at Wheelworks and Big-O for same tire.
