well, i dont wanna tell her this, but i doubt my gf's eclipse is going to last through another set of tires, then again once i move up there in may i may be able to turn that trend around

shes got directional pirellis on it atm, they have plenty tread life but theyre beat to death and 2 of them have like 3 cans of fix-a-flat :shock: in them lol... to top that theyre naturally horrid in the snow and due to where she works she drives in the snow regardless of how bad it is

not sure what she'd say about me figurin out how to put an 8 inch lift on an eclipse and trying to stuff treadwrights under it :lol: closest i could get would be a 215 85 16 :lol: :lol:

im considering having them order a set of dunlops and have them installed at walmart, i think its 9 bucks per mount/balance at walmart, like 288+48 bucks shipping on the tires but it may be just as cheep to order them through discounttire at the store

i didnt know if there was some sort of crown jewel of 'dude get your tires here' in that area or not

i appreciate the input

You could always price them online at tirerack.com and see if anyone in the area will match. I found the best deal on my tires there and Firestone matched the pricing.

I too swear by Discount Tire but I've been told by more than a few people Farm & Fleet is a great place to buy tires. I bet they'd have what you need for that eclipse.
