Tire Question

[shelanskey]

What do you know about tires? First, the tires on my car have two different numbers -185/65 and 185/60. Does the differance between the 65 and 60 make a difference? Which one should I get? And has any one went to Dunn tire? How are there prices? I always hear they have 'Out the Door' prices but I was just wondering how affordable they really are. I priced tire at Walmart and the cheap ones are $36.96 a piece. Is this good?

My dot just spent $70 a piece for average tires for her car (at NTB). The 60 and 65 denotes size. It's odd your car has 2 different sized tires. I don't know anything about Dunn, but Sears and some stores will match competitor's prices on the same tire, or used to.

Are the 60's on the front and the 65's on the back, or vice versa? My husband SWEARS its cool(hes almost 59, what does HE know about cool?:rolleyes: )to have the tires like this. I personally would ask a tire place guy or look in your owners manual to see what size you are supposed to have on your car. Also, if you ask a tire place guy, call around and make sure they all tell you the same thing cause you never know if they are just trying to sell you a more expensive set.
