Getting the MH ready for another season. Time for new tires and house batteries. I did some shopping around and here is what I found and bought.House batteries. 4 Trojan T-105's, $118 each out the door including taxes. I installed myself in less than an hour. Last set lasted 8 years so I went with the same thing.New set of Hankook AH12's, 275/70R/22.5, $385 each, mounted, balanced, taxes, out the door.The only thing left is I would like a wax job. I have a friend who has a body shop. He does incredible work. He told me $200 so that is next. Anyone found any better deals? This was all local so I was happy. Hoping to make the first run in the next couple of week.

Never ask if anyone has gotten a better deal. It can only make you feel bad. :B

Prevost changed out my two front tires as one apparently was out of round (small vibration) about a month ago. The list price on the invoice was $1,008 each for Michelin 365's. They also performed a 3 axle alignment.About 6 months ago they changed the Bilstein shocks to all new Koni shocks thinking that would cure the vibration (all under warranty).So, JnJn.... I think you did quite well.MM.

"JnJnKatiebug"......I doubt someone will come up with a better price. The batteries are usually around $150.00 OTD. I got those same Hankooks about three years ago for that price, which was a good price back then. You scored on both. Even better, you'll love how the Hankooks ride and handle.

Trojans in Florida....$97.50 each

Where did you buy the tires? I am ready for a new set; same size, so I'm shopping. Presently in Florida; but on the road soon.

Got them at the local Farmer's Coop tire shop.

Most likely due to the huge numbers sold in the Fl. golf cart market.
