Winter Tires? - The Mailman 666 - 09-22-2007
A friend of mine got me a deal? on a set of winter tires. OK I paid 520.00 Can for 4 aluminum focus rimes and 4 Champiro 185/65 R15 88T balanced taxes in.
Did I get a good deal or not? I'm finding it difficult to find info on these tires.

I did a search on them and I didnt get much info back?I did find out they are an Asian tire that cost about $50 a tire. Hope that helps.

Can you look at the DOT date and see how old it is?
Here is a disclamer on one site about these tires,
PLEASE NOTE The majority of these tires are more than 6 years old and have been discontinued. These products do not carry any warranty and we do not accept returns or exchanges.
also i think they are the same as GT radial WT's. here is a good review about these.

Thanks guys! I guess i'd have to say that I got a ggod deal Crappy tire's cheapest route would have been 4 steel rims 4 tires for aboiut 600-700. I got 4 Aluminum 15in focus rims, 4 of these 60 dollar tires which seem to be a good deal for the dollar, put on the rims and balanced for 520.
Thanks you were all very helpful.

Not too shabby man...
I paid over $600 for 4 195/60 HR 15 Bridgestone Blizzak LM18's for my ZX3 when I had it. They were pretty much the highest rated winter tire in that size on the market, as well as being a H speed rated tire for the times that the weather was cold, but the road was bare...

Thats a good deal the best price on a package with 4 winters and 4 steelies is about 520 before tax so its pretty good.
