I need to purchase new tires....thru the dealership(per them)this will be close to $1,000.00...I've taken my car to the dealership for all maintenance so far, however paying this much is going to hurt, has anyone purchased these special tires somewhere else, if so where abd did you encounter any problems. Thank you (los angeles, ca)

 

NEVER go to the dealership for tires. Check out Tirerack.com or go to a wheel&tire shop in the area.
