Where to buy Goodyear tires for Class A?

[willald]

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?

Did you use the GY website to find some commercial dealers?

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.

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

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.

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

Tirerack.com will ship your tires FREE to the installer of your choice. You didn't say whether you are using 19.5 or 22.5 tires or their size so I couldn't look them up but Tirerack normally has some of least expensive tires.

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.

as your pricing tires insist the tires are no more than 6months old, and the should check before mounting cause you ain,t paying for one year old tires.tires start to rot the day there made.

YOu can handle this however you please but I BET that there is a truck repair shop not too far from you that will give you a similar price.

Have you even tried your local truck shops ??

It is Black's Tires here in NC. You can call and talk to RK at 910-868-4548 if you would like. Tell him Wally had you call.

Thank you sooo much, Whammon! 🙂

Just got off the phone with Black's tire in Monroe, NC. They do indeed sell new tires, I asked at least 3 times to confirm such. Their price is $230 a piece for the Goodyear G670s. Total, out the door price was right around $1600 for 5 tires mounted, balanced, etc.

I live in Valdosta, GA, a loooong way from NC. However, I am frequently in NC visiting family, not too far from Monroe, NC (Monroe was their closest location to where I normally am in NC). Looks like on an upcoming visit, I'm going to be bringing the Motorhome up there for some new shoes. 🙂

Had gotten 4 tires at Reece's Tire in Summerville several years ago. Took 1 day to get tires I wanted. Price was best around.
