i have looked at the treads but cant get the answer im looking for. i have been quoted for $230per tyre for bridgestone g3s fitted, allignment and balance is this reasonable?

$230 sounds about right. i was quoted something like that for 205/55/16.

a539 is out of production, great tyre i got em for $115 each fitted balanced, etc.
Keep in mind an alignment alone is like $70.

a539's have been replaced with c drives apparently just as good, at a similar price.

thanks mate..

yeah the guy at the tyre shop quoted me $216 fitted, balance and alligned for the c-drives. the tread pattern on the a539 looks so much better than the c-drives. $216 too much you think?

way too much dude, my friend literally got them for 130each fitted balanced. throw in another 40 bucks for a front wheel alignment.

Shop harder
