Default Calling all Seattle truck owners!

I live in Alaska and will be traveling to Seattle this April, while I'm down there I am going to be looking for a good deal on tires for my 08. I'm wondering if there are certain places that give the best deals or if I would be better just ordering online. I just got my tax return back and need tires pretty bad..so that's what it's going to. I'm looking at 285/70 17 Goodyear Duratracs. Thanks!

They don't have 295 in the 17" wheels, plus it's only .1" taller than the 285

Thats my bad, they are 285s. I absolutely love them and they look and perform great.

i live in Silverdale, WA (about 75minish from Seattle) theres a place here in Bremerton called Discount Tire and Wheel. insanely good techs and prices on parts and tires from what ive dealt with. also if you were looking for a tire and wheel combo, google MrWheelDeal, or search him on FB (all one word) i got a set of XD Rockstars (18x9) wrapped in 33" terra graps, mounted, balanced, and shipped to my door for about $1500. arrived a couple weeks after i put in my order. you can customize wheel and tire and size. put in a request through their site, and a rep emails you back within the day and you can go back and forth on pricing for size and type of tire you wish. hope this helps bud.

My brother runs a tire store in Edmonds WA you can drop by and see him for a deal. Let me know I can give you the shop number to talk prices before you head down if it would be easier. Just PM me
