tires

[DanC]

Less than a year ago I was having a hard time finding tires for my dads Honda 600. Every place I called said they were unavailable, even the companies that advertise Kumho tires.
A little discouraged but refusing to give up I went to the Kumho website and called customer support. I told her the problem I was having and she did a quick search of one of their warehouses. When she informed me that they were available I became excited and asked how many, I was going to lay claim to them all (I have 5 cars that take 10 inch tires). She laughed and informed me that the search was for 500, and came back as 500 available from that warehouse. She also told me that I would be unable to order them from her but gave me the information to order them from any of their distributors.
With this information I made the phone calls again and received several prices, the best of which was from Sears. Sears would have them in a couple of days. The cost for mounting, balancing, new valve stems, tire disposal, and tax was about $275.
I hope that this helps.

Actually, there are several places that list them for sale but they may not  actually have them.
I've been buying Kumho tires for my Sedan for years and last time I tried to get the tires online they were not available.
Last time I got tires I tried America's, TireRack, etc. Nobody had them.
I ended up getting a set from a guy on eBay for a good price.
I keep hoping that Kumho will make a run of them so that we have tires to put on our cars.

I found a shop with 2x new ones for 75$ each. Is this a decent price?  What have you paid in the past for them?

Eric,
Let's see... they are no longer produced and you NEED them. fair deal in my book

[Eric Geiger]

Agreed I do need them.  I was more curious if this price is what they cost when they were still being produced as well, or if it's way more than what retail was when they were readily available.
