    I'm looking to buy BF Goodrich Radial TA's in P255/60R-15 size. I can get (4) of them to my door from the Tirerack for $348 and change. Anybody have a better suggestion for better pricing???

    Thanks

    Ken,
    Has been a while since I bought some tires in that size, but seem to recall that either a BJ's or Sam's club carries the BFG's and they were reasonable.
    Have seen some deals at tire rack, yet the larger sizes seem to be more.

    Regards,
    Mark

    Thanks

    Thanks Mark!

    There's a BJ's near me that I'll check out. I didn't even think of it, so thanks for pointing me in that direction. The Tirerack seemed reasonable until I saw shipping was $60+!

    Thanks again. :TU:

    Ken I would use a p235/60R15. The 255 will rub in the front on turns or dips. If they make a 245 you can get away with those but not many companies make that size any more.

    They make 245s and I run those without problems.

    Ken,
    I have P255/60R-15's on Wheel Vintiques repro wheels all around on my 70 GS. I have no problems at all with rubbing, but my entire suspension is fresh. The P245/60R-15's are the closest to G60-15's in size. 348$ for the 4 tires is a great price. I paid 353$ for my 4 Radial T/A's from the Tire Rack on 10/17/00. That was 2 1/2 years ago. Summit wants 75.00 a tire + shipping. Grab them unless you can get them cheaper at Costco or Sams.

    Got 'em on order!

    Thanks for the replies guys!

    After reading your input, I went with the P245/50-15 size. It sounds like the P255 size rub issue is luck of the draw depending on individual vehicle (or whether you have a fresh suspension install like Larry!).

    They were an even better deal at the tirerack. $309.12 to my door including a 2-day FEDEX upgrade that essentially was the same as the UPS ground quote. I suppose I could have waited to go to BJ's, but the price seemed damn good and, well, it just feels good to pop in that card number and hit "confirm order"! :laugh:

    Now to round up some rims.

    Thanks again!

    Ken, my shop is a recommended installer for Tire Rack. If you are coming to the meeting Sunday, you can have them shipped to me and we can put them on after the meeting. Just a thought.

    Hey John-

    I appreciate the gracious offer, but I'm afraid I won't be around this weekend. :( I also need to hunt up some rims as my car has 14's on it currently.

    I was hoping to come to that meeting and get aquainted with you guys, but I already had this weekend booked. If you have a regular schedule of meetings, please forward the dates to me so I can make sure I'm available. I've been helped out a lot on this board and I notice the Northeast guys really chime in for each other. I can't wait to meet you guys in person. I do plan on Holmdel in June, whether or not my Buick is on the road.

    Thanks again for the kind offer,

    Ken
