Hey Al....
Need some help... have a flat front tire on my 2005 Mazda 6s thanks to a nice size nail that is close to the sidewall. Dealership said its too close to the sidewall and would be dangerous to plug. They are trying to charge me $260 for a new 17" tire/mount/balance.
Do you guys carry the tire? Any chance you can give me a price for the tire itself? or tire/mount ? Thanks Al !!
and yea, I was going to send you a PM instead, but figured you might see this first 8)

Tires are 215/50/17. Pretty sure the tires are Michelin Pilot HX MXM4.
Or if you can recommend a decent tire to replace the expensive ass michelin pilot.... well let me know, you're the expert here 8) Thanks!

Thoes tires are expensive, but we are having a sale on all Michelin tires. I will give you a price when I get to work.
Id keep the tires the same since its a brand new car. When its time to change all 4, go with soemthing new, maybe something from BFG or Goodyear.

240 with road hazard
218 with out.
thats balance, stems, tossing of the old one and state enviro fee.
Road Hazard covers the tire if you get another nail like that again and its not repairable, you get a new tire for 22 bucks.
thoes are without tax

uh...not in a 17.
BF Goodrich does sell there Traction TA series tire, in a V rating. Unidirectional tread, 60k milage warranty, and very stiff side walls that will give you the handling you want. They are 158 per tire plus tax, installed WITH the road hazard.
These are the tires I want for my Maxx. The Bridgestones I have on there are J-U-N-K. I want something that will give me a little bit better handling.
