Online. Just look for some good ones that are on sale and order them then have a local shop put them on.

I concur, you should try to get the best deal but as good of a quality of tire as you can.

Anything that keeps you off the ground (tires, shoes, mattresses) should not be cheaped out on.

I don't have it, but I'm just thinking how hard it seems to be for people with serious afflictions like schizophrenia to get proper treatment in this state. How do you even find the right person? Is it just me or is this state barren in terms of decent mental health services outside of inpatient stuff like Bradley/Butler?

Thundermist does med management but I believe you need to get your primary care there as well. They have a location in south county but they also do med management appointments over the phone. They definitely take Medicaid.

There's a difference between being cheap by saving $20-30 per tire on a brand name like Goodyear or Michelin, and being cheap by buying an inexpensive no-name Chinese tire that is probably safe but will wear out in six months and may suck in the snow or rain.

I saved a few hundo on some tires via tire rack.com, and sending them to red stone tire (in westerly?)

Second, also get cheap tires are not made to last.

BJ’s. They sell a store brand that is a rebadged big name brand and will install them for a low price too.

Just as a point, tires and brakes should really be the things you don't go too cheap on. That's literally the things keeping you safe.

The mounting and balancing is cheaper. I am not a tire expert to weigh in on tire prices for every application but I'm guessing, probably.

Walmart, covenrty sells a low cost goodyear tire. Only walmart sells it. Call the store, get the auto department and they tell you how.

If you're in a crunch and want some good used tires, go to Richmond Diesel and Tire in Exeter. Lot's of really good tires there for great prices.

The shop that failed you is required to re-inspect for no additional charge for up to 30 days.
This is so you can have the issues fixed and bring it back to them to finish the inspection.
I do not believe there is any reason you can't bring it to another shop, but I'm pretty sure everything the 1st shop failed you for has already been entered into the computer system.
Best to go to the place you trust the first time.
My new (to me) 4Runner failed its first inspection (despite passing in CT, where I bought it.) They failed me on a small tear in my left lower control arm boot, rust on my rear center brake lines, and tinted windows.
I replaced the control arm and the brake lines (nothing wrong with them, just surface rust) and I removed the tint from the front windows. I took it back to the same shop and passed within 5 minutes.
