Hankook tires Where to buy North East USA

I was charged 30 dollars for installation and 30 dollars for balancing this winter. This comes up to $60 dollars for every tire. In Canadian dollars, this came up to $75 for one tire!!! Average salary is higher in Canada than USA, just a bit more, but it is more, and we pay much more in income tax. So, someone is just making to much money on your back.

In my area, installation is $18 Can dollars, roughly $15 US dollars! We are far from 72 dollars. Here, they do not balance rear tires, they say it is a waste of money, everyone say that, not just one place. One told me if I really want it balcanced, wait a few thousand miles for the tire to set in.

It is getting very hard to get an honest price.

Here is the problem with Simple Tire, just found out when I hit shipping charges. Hankook are $251, good price :)

Continue... shipping plus FET for one tire is $104 :E.

Total for 4 tires is $1440, not installed, 1414 if you ship to an installer. The installer is probably very happy to install the tire you bought on the Web :R

I was quoted $1360 installation included at a shop in Connecticut, so it is a no go for simple tire.

That's what I ran into, so I bought right from the dealer. The dealers will match simple tires price if you use it for bargaining. At my price of $438 installed. It would be $1933 for four of them installed. That is a good price. That's way too much for installation. They charged me $78 per tire installation or $312 for four.

Simple Tire online would be a bit cheaper, shipping included. I wonder if you pay taxes? But then I have to bring it and find an installer.

Online thru Simple Tire. When I got mine I called and they checked the warehouse for current dates and set aside the six dates I wanted. I found a truck service that mounted and balanced the tires. Best price I could find.

Contact Lee's Tire in Topsham Maine. I and my kids have bought many tires from him and always got the best price and superior service.

I just got a call from Niantic in CT. They quoted me $1360 for 4 installed plus tax, not bad.

In Ct. I got my Hankooks 19.5s from Here. I paid $1600.00 out the door for six mounted and balanced with equal. They also mounted the best tire on my spare rim. This is a real small shop and the rv was done outside. Tires were ordered and came in about a week with fresh date codes. I saved my old ones and traded them for a cord of fire wood.

I paid $2899 in McAllen Texas installed, balancing and new valves included. That's $483.16 per tire. I know that doesn't help you with an installation place in your area, but it will give you an idea on pricing. I bought these in April they are 275/70/22.5's. I am an FMCA member and was going to get Michelins but they would have been $1000 more even with the FMCA discount. Very happy with them so far.

Tire Rack will ship to an affiliated local installer.
