The 2012 Georgetown (see signature) is in need of new tires. They look and ride fine and have been great, but they are now 7 years old, so its time.One blew out a month ago (long story). I replaced that one a month ago, so only need 5 tires now. It came originally with Goodyear G670s, and the one I replaced recently, I put a Goodyear G670 back on. That being the case, I want to stick with the G670s, don't want to mix brands (so please don't waste time suggesting I get Michelins, double coins, Toyo, Hankooks, etc). The G670s have been great, so have no problem putting them back on it.Have been looking around, only found two local shops here (Valdosta, GA) that will put tires on it. They both want obscene amount of $$ to do it. One place wants $590 a tire to do it (G670s), another wants $700 a tire to do it. One place will install, mount them if I buy them elsewhere, and will charge $70 a tire to do such. That is what I'm probably going to do.Soooo, now the question: Where is a good place to order and have shipped 5 Goodyear G670 (245/70R19.5) tires?. NTB.com, Mavis Discount, tirerack.com, and Simpletire have been ruled out. NTB, Mavis, and tirerack don't carry it, and Simpletire scares me with the fact they sell tires that can be up to 4 years old before you even mount them. Not doing that.I see that I can get them from Amazon for $327 a piece. Has anyone ordered tires from Amazon, and had success? Can anyone suggest any other place I might look at, for ordering these tires?

Check the shipping charge from Amazon.It might be high. Do you have a way to get the tires from your house to the shop" If the shop will mount and balance for $70. get the tires from Amazon.

Can borrow a pickup truck, or can probably carry all of them in the motorhome if need be. Pickup truck would probably be best.Should clarify one thing: The shop wants $70 EACH to mount/balance, so it'd be a total of around $350 to mount and balance the 5 tires. Still much cheaper that way, than buying the tires from the shop, at $590 a piece PLUS the $70 a piece to mount/balance!Will

What kind of "shop" is this ?If they are RV shops, you need to start over and call around to some truck tire dealers. They are truck tires, after all.I'm guessing that you will get a better price and letting the shop do ALL of the work will be a lot easier.

theres gotta be a big tire shop some place out there, I,d not full around ordering, then paying to have installed. find out where the farmers go.

I've used this place before with great results. Here are your Goodyear tires and they also have places that will install them. I think they also have a deal to save an additional 5% ex-military discount and shipping is free. They also have installation centers. Goodyear G670

Goodyear Commercial

Yep, and that was how I got the info on the first few places I called, that either didn't have them or wanted way too much $$ for them.

Firat place that website listed for here, is the one that wanted nearly $600 a tire.

For one of your questions, I have ordered tires from Amazon with great success and they had recent manufacturing dates, but they were HERCULES, which served me well. Had a local shop mount and balance them, so not a problem there, either.

No, the goodyear tires always rode great, which is a lot of why I'm putting same kind back on it.. Never had any issues with rivering. Did have issues early on with one of the rear ones leaking a little, but that wasn't the tires fault, that was an issue with the valve stem I had to correct.

Thanks for the info about ordering through Amazon. Pretty sure though, I gonna go with Black's tire and auto in NC. Their price is the best I've found anywhere, and they seem like a good company to work with. I just gotta figure out when, how.

That's simple tire, the company I said in original post I won't buy from because they sell tires that are already up to 4 years old. Thanks but no thanks on that one.

Will
I will add that Simple Tire was higher priced to what I found at local dealers as well, even without FMCA pricing.

As I said in original post, tire rack does not carry the Goodyear G670 tires I want. I even called them to verify, didn't believe their web site.
