What do you guys think of there free replacement deal?? 76 dollars for 4 of them plus then you might have to pay to ship the tire back. that would be pretty close to the price of a replacement, plus it would be unlikely to need a replacement thats y they got patches. I have only had a single flat in my 7 yrs of driving and it was on a dirt road which my car will never see lol. There are no outlets near me so it could be a pain to get the replacement. $568 vs $644. I think i would skip the free replacement.

I skiped it also when I picked up my Pirelli tires and it's been over 2 years (I think).

kumho 711s are the worst tire ive ever owned, they wear out quick and have very poor traction.

i would have to disagree. i went 12's at over 110mph on them

they also hold up better than any other tire i have used (and by hold up i mean last really well with all the burnouts i do)

Check out discounttiresdirect. Also, give Steeda a call they have tires on clearance that they are trying to get rid of - the tires are probably discontinued. $70 for shipping that's high. Steeda charged me about 35-40 for 4 tires.

MHO on the tire replacement is that you should get it with expensive tires. Then it would be worth the money. If you are gettin inexpensive tires like Kumhos, then you are probably better to take the risk and replace them out of your own pocket in the unlikely event you have a sidewall puncture. But with Michilins, or other pricey tires, it is cheap insurance. Your 139 deal is probably right on the fence. So I'd say no, dont get the replacement.
