Title: 195/65/R14 or R15 tires $25 brand new!
Post by: e3091318is on June 27, 2013, 03:14:20 PM
Pepboys is clearing them out.  I just bought a brand new set of 4 Definity 195/65/R14 tires for $115 out the door.  Just giving everyone a heads up.

Thanks!  I just came back from my local Pep Boys and they're still on clearance.  Definity HX700 195/65 R14 @ $25 each.

They had to be ordered from a warehouse in LA, so I'm betting they won't last long.  The store manager wasn't sure anything will show up.  ??? Seems like Pep Boys might have a few supply issues?  I ordered five anyway, I really need a set of decent tires on the old girl.

Yea luckily my local pepboys had four left in stock.  I have brand new tires already on my 318is but they are 60 not 65.  Might go with the slightly larger profile anyways.  Still nice to have a set of good brand new tires laying around.

I picked up a set for the '76 MGB 175/70-R14 for $156 mounted and balanced.
I then picked up another tire the next day for the spare as it was looking a bit 'tired'!? lol the pun?!
