I need 2 new Tires

[RedArmy]

I'm replacing two of my Kumho Ecsta tires with Kumho Ecsta 711's...however I need to locate the right size somewhere, as for the most part I'm coming up with 205/50/16 instead of 205/40/16.

Therefore, is there a good place to order them online or is it cheaper to just go to some store and buy 2? I also need an alignment after the new tires get mounted so I'm not sure if maybe getting them from some place, having them put the new tires on, and then just align it all right there is the best choice. I have no problem taking the tires somewhere myself and paying to get them mounted either...so I guess it all depends

Suggestions? Comments? Flames?

Sears.

They will generally price match.

Pick up the phone and see who has them in stock. Way back we had to use this thing called a telephone to do things, it works very well. And why in the world are you only doing two tires?

I had to find a kumho ecsta 712 that I needed to replace but couldn't find the size locally... check tirerack.com, they didn't have my size, but 1010tires.com did.

i like costco if you're ok with what they carry, but they don't carry much let alone kumhos

LOL, just looked at the sizes. 205/40/16 are rubber bands.

WHY!???? Are you using that size?

Get a price off of tirerack.com and then have discount tire pricematch for you, they did a pricematch plus beat the price by 10% when I got tires(although they included the would be shipping in the price match)

Because my car weighs 0 pounds and has been A-OK with them for the past 6 years.

Also, I'm only replacing 2 since the other two still have a ton of tread on them...we were gonna switch out all 4 tires for winter ones last year but I just decided to garage the car instead and so all we did before I put it away was remove the back two rims and just put some snows on it so it could rest level on the ground. I have no idea what the previous owner did with the tires to make them so bad but they were down to the lining on the inside of the tire.
