Re: Need new tires for 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo
 

Check around your area and see if you have an Americas Tire, Americas
Discount Tire, or Discount Tire. They come reasonably close to Tire
Rack in price and offer free repairs for the life of the tire. Every
now and then they put the Michelin LTX M+S on sale.

You should also check your local family owned tire outlets, their prices and
service might surprise you.

Re: Need new tires for 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo
 

I'll be damned. Last time I checked, they didn't carry them. Almost
the same price as I got with Costco's $100-off coupon. I've done
business with Tirerack.com before. Damn good outfit. I'll be buying
from them again next time around.

I've found a local chain (Tires Plus) matches the tire-rack price (plus
shipping). The advantage is I got free rotation and lifetime balance
with a fairly national chain. Well, national in as much as they have
an outlet in cities I usually drive to.
