[Dead Deal]Heads-up...HydroEdge on sale HydroEdge tires are on sale for $74/ea at TireRack in our size. I won't need them for another 6 months or so but I couldn't pass up that price! Suddenly I don't feel so bad about getting screwed by the local guy on the tires we bought for the other car. Feel free to move this if I should have posted it elsewhere.
Huh. Tirerack now has them listed as "closeout" instead of "special". Is Michelin discontinuing this tire?
I ordered a set, hope they haven't had them on the shelf too long because I won't need to mount them for several months. I want to get a few thousand more miles out of the original tires.
Well, mine just showed up from the GA distribution center dated weeks 38 and 39 of '08...barely 2 months ago. That's about as fresh as they get! Of course now I have to stash them out of sight or else I'm going to want to put them on the car before the Integritys are truly spent. Funny story: I met the UPS guy outside, and he asked me if I was putting the tires on the Prius (sitting right there). Turns out he has an '07 with 15k on it, so we talked for a few minutes about tires. Soon there will be one less Prius driving around with the silly 35/33 pressures wearing down the edges and mushing up the handling. Very nice guy, too, especially considering that those drivers are usually way too busy to stop and chat. **EDIT** Dead deal...looks like the sale is over.
Guess I got in under the wire. Got the shipping conformation by email today. Shipping UPS ground from Louisiana. Price each $74.00 and $38.38 shipping. Total $334.38. Not sure I can wait very long before putting them on.
