Default How much for a new tire?

Wondering what I'll be looking at $$ wise for a new stock tire for the right front. 06 WRX. Cant wait for next summer for new rims and tires, wanna keep it stock until then.

stock tires are very expensive at ~$180 each. Complete waste of $$...

go to the for-sale forums - there are a number of people trying to unload RE92's (in 215/45-17) - RE92's are insanely expensive (particularly considering their performance level) when bought new.

Why not get a better replacement for cheaper? Get on tirerack or tires.com and start browsing....

Just make sure it's within 2/32 of the other three, otherwise there is the potential for drivetrain damage.

^Yup, be careful of not only that, but don't put another brand or model tire on if you have three other RE-92s.

well I guess I'll just go to the tire shop and get something cheap since that is a lotttttt for the stockers. I was expecting the 50 to 80 dollar range for ONE crummy tire. Already on tire rack for new rims and tires for next summer. I really dont have time to order a tire since I have to fill mine up once every day and a half (damn sidewall).

12345 Just buy a used one off your local forum. I got an almost-new one mounted and balanced on a good OEM rim to use as a spare. $40

just be careful about tread depth. If the depth varies too much it makes your diff(s) cry. I don't know what the exact number is.

i know people are going to love this suggestion... you can buy tire 'slime' that you put in the tire and it will fix most slow leaks. it isn't the best method, but it usually works quite well. slime the tire and it might get you through until you need to replace all of yours. if not you are only out a couple bucks.
