New shoes! Thanks to TR

[Fabvsix]

I was approaching 38K on my 07 MDX with das original oem tires (shoes)....when inquiring with local shops/dealerships they all start with the same oh same oh BS about "special order" not in stock BS.....so I went to TireRack.com ordered the OEM tires that came with the MDX Sport and got them delivered the "next" day.....Can't beat it.....spent the nice weather weekend washing the MDX and making the new shoes BLING BLING....

Ooh shiny

I'm guessing a local shop had to install them? Are those the Michelins? Some members hate that particular brand/model and prefer the Coopers.

yes had TR ship to my house, brought them to local tire shop waiting and watched them install and balance, the drove home within the hour....Yes California clean here....I LOVE Michelin tires! These are the same OEM tires that came with the X......
$323.00 each

323.00 after tax and shipping per tire? I was quoted 1600 for all 4 (so 400 per tire installed and balanced...remember, we have a 13% sales tax as well)

[Fabvsix]

339.00 tax total not including install and balance $1,494.00 tax title and license

Nice, spanking new.

Wow!! $1500 for tires! Makes the Duelers I bought a real bargain. And I like them better than the Michelins. I like the Cross Terrains on the first gen (on my third set) but the MX4s were not the best in snow and were noisy.

Very shiny man.

Almost like my friends motorcycle tires when he sprayed WD40 on them

Ever wonder how the Tire Rack can deliver tires the next day to 80 percent of the country, even when the orders are only placed with UPS ground shipping? Here's how they do it.

First, they have warehouses in five states (IN, NV, CT, LA, GA). You'll note how they're located next to, but not within, the states with the biggest populations, like CA, NY, IL, TX, and FL; that's so that they don't have to charge sales tax to customers in those states.

Instead of having UPS trucks picking up a large quantity of tires at their warehouses the way most companies operate, the Tire Rack has its own fleet of trucks. Every day they load and send those trucks to every major city in the country, and they deliver the tires to the local UPS distribution center, where UPS loads their trucks that deliver to individual customers. So if you live in San Francisco, or in Des Moines, or in Raleigh, the Tire Rack's own truck unloads your order at your local UPS facility. And they do it in time for your tires to make it onto the truck that comes to your neighborhood the next day.

Incidentally, as another option, you can have your tires delivered to your local tire shop. The Tire Rack's website makes this particularly easy if your tire installer is one of their thousands of recommended installers.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the Tire Rack, but I think the way their systems deliver tires the next day, without charging for overnight shipping, is very cool.

HNR949: Meguires tire shine....its bomb....but remember the X went from shop to house (california weather-sunny) and hasn't left since so yes they are shinning like new cause they are new and most know how anal I am with my vehicles....NEVER driven thru cash washes always exclusively in my drive way and ZAINO 100%..... Meguires for tires, Lexol for interior and Armoral originals for plastic engine bay parts...

[Fabvsix]

The warehouse was located in Nevada which explains the awesome delivery response time and yes NO tax....
