I had one slow deflating tyre and went to my local Beaurepairs to get it fixed.
The guy mentioned that although i have plenty of tread left, my tyres were too old (7 years) with some cracking so recommended replacing all tyres. He quoted me with a header for Dunlop super dealer, instead of Beaurepairs.
My first thought was he was a sales man trying to make a quick sale, but after a visit to Bob Jane was advised the same thing and also quoted me for four new tyres (buy 3 get one free) however was only $40 cheaper.
A quick google at stated that tyres should be changed between 5-10 years, or 65,000km. I've pretty much done that however was hoping to stretch it a bit further.
Question:
Do you think both companies are trying to make a sale and I should keep trying to find a place who can repair that single deflating tyre?
What's the ozbargain way of shopping for tyres? Tyroola are the cheapest at the moment for a Bridgestone, however after installation become way more expensive than Costco - who don't do wheel alignments.
Thanks in advance.
whats your car model/make/year?
