Time for some new rubber...

[dhirocz]

...time for these m726's to go.

I bought them on a recommendation by the local tire shop in Savannah, against my better judgement. Cost wasn't too bad...it's the mileage I can't stand. I can't even pick up speed downhill while loaded half the time, the rolling resistance is just too high.

Tires aren't even half worn yet, but I'm thinking if I don't change them now, it'll be more $ down the toilet by the time they do need replacing.

Anyway, I need to find somewhere that sells these things reasonably without burning out more brain cells. The shop I called kept trying to sell me everything BUT the m710...but this is 'just as good', or 'but this is cheaper and lasts just as long'. I had to finally break it down for him repeatedly to the point it was practically insulting to make my point, and by now, they weren't even trying to put in the effort to sell them. To make it worse, they offered me a whopping $60 apiece for my 726's...like I should be happy about that. No, they'll make a good tire up north between November and February. Hell I can sell them on Craigslist all day long for twice that easy.

So I am curious now, where have you guys picked up yours and for what price? I haven't found them under $680 locally so far...so much for the Bridgestone account...
