Apparently the Sears price is "only order only," and VW will not price match online orders. Whereas if you walk into the store, the tires cost $151. Spoke with the Parts Manager at VW diller, he said they are indeed the same tires. So I asked him if they could do $151, he said he'll give me the tires for $140 a piece (cheaper than Tire Rack, and he gets them for $135, so he's only making $5 on them), and they will heavily discount the tire mounting even more than 15%, so I think $25/tire. Initially VW wanted $170 per tire.

I don't think it's too bad. I told them to do it.
That's legit :notbad: . Good job.

So $660 mounted and balanced? That's pretty cheap for :225: . What did you end up choosing?

So initially they wanted 170 per tire and you got them down to 165 otd?

Meanwhile Sears was 121 per otd?

Get rid of that CC debt fo' sho'

Consolidating the CCs onto that personal loan was huge for me. After the dust from taxes settle, I plan on throwing a few grand at that.
