I've been looking into getting a set of
245/75/R16 C-rated Goodyear Duratracs. One thing that has me confused is how much the price can vary day to day, even on the same website. I've seen them anywhere from $155 to over $200 a tire. So, I've decided to track the price over time to see how it changes, and see if there is a pattern. If there is, then we can figure out which day of the week to get Duratracs at the best price, and that will help a bunch of people save money.
For the Noobs, here is what a Duratrac looks like:
The two websites I am tracking are:
TireRack.com:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+DuraTracDiscountTireDirect.com:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/tires/goodyear/size/viewProductDetail.do?ra=%2Ftires%2Fgoodyear%2Fsize%2FviewProductResults&pc=31919&ar=75&rd=16&cs=245Tirerack has a helpful ratings and reviews section, as well as lower prices, but shipping is extra. To my zip code, the shipping cost is $118 for 5 tires. Discounttiredirect.com has free shipping included in the price. Goodyear currently has a rebate of $60 on a set of 4.
Prices below are per tire:
Day of the week: TireRack Price / DiscountTireDirect PriceMonday: 154 / 175

Wednesday: 154 / 175
Thursday: 154 / 175
Friday: 154 / 175

I'll update this post as I get more data...
