I need to get new tires-any advice on good deals?

I heard that Costco runs specials every once in a while. Does anyone have advice? BTW I need FOUR new tires, thanks to crappy Boston streets.

1. Pep Boys and the like

A lot of times they will run tire specials, like 4/$100 (not including mounting). A lot of people say don't trust these deals, but I've done them several times and never had a problem.

They will offer their best deals automatically... obviously mindful of winter weather there...

7. They also guarantee their work

I was with my friend when we had a tire mishap, and he had just gotten all new tires from them four months' previous. They replaced it for only $15.

5. Costco is good!

If you already have a membership, take advantage of it! They will rotate your tires and fix flats for free.

If you are not a member, bear in mind that they support Democrats more than Repubs. Much more.

They also have wicked deals on all sorts of bulk buys, no haggle returns, and-- that's enough promotion. Costco rocks.

6. Tires are free.

Many cars are sitting in driveways, on streets, and in parking lots. They are not moving. Only cars that are moving need tires. Ergo, these cars need no tires. Take them.
