      I'm sure they'll let you buy 4 and get 1 free also.

    • Igaf on 04/07/2023 - 20:11

      Just for info, if anyone's looking for a 5 tyre deal.

      I was offered 25% off the "spare" if I bought 5 - on top of the buy3 get 1 free of course. Off RRP unfortunately, so no better than many 'normal' discounts on other brands.

    Isn’t buy 3, get 1 free a marketing tactic? You would need to at least buy 4 tires

      get 1 free a marketing tactic?

      well, not really. you're getting 4 for the price of 3 ie. instead of paying 1000 for 4 corners (@250 per corner), you're paying 750 for all 4 corners instead, bringing down the individual cost to 187.5.

      • FrugalFindsDownUnder on 02/07/2023 - 20:35

        Yeah, that I was initially thinking but they could increase the price of their tires to accomodate for the free tire. But hey, they could be reducing their revenue earned by 25% as part of this sale.

        Apologies if I sound pretentious. I just wanted to highlight that the free tire is a marketing tactic as it sounds better than 25% off (if price didn’t rise). In this context where you need to buy 4 tires, the free item here is necessary. For other get free deals, the free item is as if it is optional. Just found that unique so sorry for the miscommunication.

        • Igaf on 02/07/2023 - 20:55

          That would be "illegal" without proper reason BUT it's also why I suggested people research the general going rate for the tyres they want (that is, ring a couple of Yoko sellers who aren't on the list and get an indicative price) BEFORE asking the participating dealer for his/her best price. For example I know Bob Jane's price for the Geolandar 119S in my tyre size is OTT - a couple of dollars less than RRP, which virtually NOBODY sells or buys tyres for.

          • FrugalFindsDownUnder on 02/07/2023 - 21:03

            @Igaf: Oh right, thanks for the insight. They would sell it below or at the RRP so they can’t just jack the price up as I thought before.

              @FrugalFindsDownUnder: They slowly increase the prices over time but that could be natural to inflation.

              My bridgestone Potenzas were about 600 for b3 get 1 free) 2years ago @bj Tmart. Now for the same deal im paying 750.

        • dukeGR4 on 03/07/2023 - 00:12
          +1

          if i had to guess, it's cause they probably worked out that they need to get rid of precisely 4 tyres at a specific lowered price for the deal to work out. Which is why there is an "equal but lesser value" rule that applies to both square and staggered setup.

          From marketing perspective - marketing it as 25% off is not technically correct, because that discounted price won't apply if you're getting <4 tyres. Alternatively, "25% off if you buy 4 tyres" doesn't sound too good either as it implies additional commitment from the consumer BEFORE they could even enjoy the stipulated discount.

          • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 11:22

            @dukeGR4: 25% was my comment (hence the inverted commas), based on the "usual" situation where people replace all four tyres and haven't touched the spare. There is no mention of it in any marketing that I've seen, and never has been afaik.

            Gut feeling based on various forum comments suggests that 4 tyre purchase may be changing somewhat and replacing all 5 - if you're lucky enough to have a full size spare - might be less rare than it used to be. It would be interesting to know how many Ozbargainers routinely rotate all 5 tyres.

        • brad1-8tsi on 09/07/2023 - 08:45

          I used to sell tyres a long time ago.

          We rarely sold at RRP. RRP was for country stores that had high freight costs or a tyre monopoly in the town, or for garages, etc.

          IIRC our mark up from buy price to RRP was around 40% once overhead was taken into account. We generally sold at overhead + 15% with room to discount depending on what tyre they were buying / how much they were spending. That was a medium volume tyre store. I worked at another place that was a high volume discount store and we worked on a buy price + $20 and if we were on-selling a bulk lot (40+) it was buy+$5/tyre delivered to their shop.

          Many customers couldn't understand percentages so the 4 for 3 and bogof offers are more accessible to the general public.

          I got substantial bonuses based on units sold and to a lesser extent profit so there was a fairly high incentive to sell 4 or 5.

          It's a fairly easy upsell if they have 2 baldies and a marginal and you say "those 2 will be $500 but for $750 we will fit 4. All fitted, balanced and a new valve. We'll put the best tyre in the spare. I'll give you nitrogen for free and a half price safety check and wheel alignment. You won't have to waste your time coming back in 9 months and spending another $500"

          • Igaf on 09/07/2023 - 12:40

            @brad1-8tsi: That extra 22% nitrogen was the deal sealer for some no doubt Brad?

            • brad1-8tsi on 09/07/2023 - 14:17

              @Igaf: 22% extra of anything is always a good seller. :-)

      I've been watching for about 18 months and the Geolandar appears in this promotion about every 6-9 months or so. Falken AT3W which rates very highly on www.tirerack.com has had a couple of similar deals in the last 12 months.

      • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 15:24

        Should have added - AT3W is also about $100 per corner cheaper.

      • Igaf on 04/07/2023 - 17:28

        G016 has been on the deal previously. If you can wait long enough they'll probably re-appear. Based on reports they're slippery on wet hardtop on some vehicles. Tread pattern is designed for off road and tyre has few sipes so no surprise there really.

    Often only 2 tyres that need change. The other 2 of the lot (after inspection) should be good for another 10-12K in conjunction with the new pair. I have followed this strategy for last several years without issues. Happy to hear from the fellas out here!

    • Ziggy28 on 03/07/2023 - 04:27

      Many mechanics and tyre shops will try to upsell tyres by claiming all 4 should be changed at the same time, even when the tyres still have decent thread left, They then sell you the 4 new tyres, and then sell off those good used tyres!

    • BargainDude8 on 03/07/2023 - 06:28

      Just be aware that with some AWD cars different sized tyres can damage the centre differential, and then the manufacturer (eg BMW) won’t warranty the failure. Didn’t know it was a thing until I overheard this happening with another customer at BMW service. Don’t have a BMW anymore…

      A way to avoid having 2 tyres wear out before the others not is tyre rotation, but that is kind of obvious.

    • fillit on 03/07/2023 - 07:42
      +1

      On a non staggered car, ie. front and rear wheels are the same, you’ll swap them over so they both achieve roughly same wear, then change all 4 at the same time.

      Tires do degrade over time as well, probably not an issue if turnover is like 5 years

    • Daemos on 03/07/2023 - 08:43

      I always change all 4 tyres at once on my cars, usually there is plenty of tread left but they are changed due to being 4 to 5 years old based on manufacturing date. Don't drive as much as I used to!

      • wtfnodeal on 03/07/2023 - 11:49
        +1

        I remember either on Continental or Michelin website mentioned not more than 10 years instead of 5 years old and provided there are no visible tiny cracks on the tyre wall.

        • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 11:57

          Yep, depends on brand, where they're made , where you drive and live, whether they're constantly in the sun, and importantly - how you look after them (pressures etc).

        • Daemos on 03/07/2023 - 12:48

          Rubber on tyres degrades over time, which impacts, traction, grip and braking. I had to replace a set early (3 years old from date of manufacture) due to a couple punctures. They had a maximum of 10k km on them with plenty of tread. They were replaced with the exact same tyre brand and model. The difference was very noticeable between the old set and new set.

          A $1k to $2k every five years per car for a set of decent to good tyres is well worth it for safety reasons.

          • wtfnodeal on 03/07/2023 - 12:53

            @Daemos: Do you buy a new car every 3 years? Do you use the new tyres in a race track? If you’re correct then either Continental or Michelin has overrated their tyres by stating not more than 10 years instead of 5 years?

              +1

              @wtfnodeal: No, my cars are quite old. But I am very proactive with maintenance.

              Tyres are the only thing on a car touching the pavement. I have stuck to the 5 year replacement rule since I learned to drive and will continue to do so.

              But yes, I try to get a little bit of track time with one of my cars.

              An article from the QPS suggests replacing tyres after 5 years.

              https://mypolice.qld.gov.au/darlingdowns/2014/08/28/tyres-ge…

              What you want to do is up to you.

              • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 14:27

                @Daemos: That article is nearly a decade old Daemos. I have no problem with police providing up-to-date, evidence-based advice from experienced experts but frankly many are flat out knowing the intricacies of the road laws, let alone keeping up with tyre technology and the effects of new compounds now being used.

                I have no problem whatsoever with your personal policy but I seriously question its applicability to "average" drivers. So called mechanical failure causes very few accidents these days, esp if you follow routine maintenance regimes for things like brakes and tyres and drive according to limits and conditions. And, although tyres left constantly exposed to UV do harden I doubt that has much significance wrt punctures or performance for normal use.

                Bottom line is that if you notice less braking performance when your tyres age (possibly more noticeable in the wet, although there are many reasons relating to road surface conditions why that may occur) or observe significant sidewall cracking then it is probably time to consider new tyres.

              • wtfnodeal on 03/07/2023 - 20:05
                +1

                @Daemos: What I am saying there is no golden rule to replace tyres when they reach 5 years. If you ask the tyre manufacturers they will not put it in writing that their tyres only have 5 years of lifespan. Of course if you have money to burn you can replace them every year. Like Igaf said it also depends on what kind of conditions they have been kept and maintained.

    • Aroundthewicket on 03/07/2023 - 08:43

      You will need to change all 4 tires on an AWD car with a centre diff. If you don't you will cause diff binding/winding. Super important in old school AWD systems, which is pretty much any Subaru.

    • uncoelite on 03/07/2023 - 10:52
      +3

      it depends if you're rotating your tyres or not, as in front to back and back to front (or whatever your manufacturer recommends)

      if you are rotating, you can wear down your tyres fairly evenly. thus requiring you to change all 4 around the same time.
      if you're not rotating, you'll have the fronts wear out before the back, thus only needing to replace 2 at a time.

      the difference is do you want to replace 2 on the front more often, or all 4 at once less often.

    • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 11:34

      If you're following manufacturer advice Deepak you'll be rotating your tyres so they wear pretty uniformly. Better to have evenly worn tyres than two new and two old on most vehicles. Assuming RWD, where do you put the new tyres - on the driven or steering axle (could be the same, or could be AWD)?

      • deepakkumar1983 on 03/07/2023 - 15:24
        +1

        Well I always wanted to believe that all four tyres wear uniformly but I haven't seen that pragmatically. I have a FWD and my front pair tends to wear much faster. So with all the periodic rotations and maintenance etc. I have noticed the rear still have some juice left. So the new pair goes in the front which is rotated in next car service.

        By principles of physics, rear or front pair should wear more for the rear or front WD respectively.

        https://www.toyotires.com.au/news/why-does-the-left-front-ty….

        I agree this may not apply for AWD.

        • Igaf on 03/07/2023 - 15:34
          +1

          'Wear' has two contexts: loss of tread depth, and uneven wear (outside or inside scuffing etc) - which has many variations and causes, including "incorrect" pressures.

          Depends on vehicle, driving habits, vehicle weight distribution, load on tyres etc but for 2WD the tyres on the driven axle will often lose tread quicker. On the other hand the steering axle tyres will usually wear more unevenly. Hence the reason for regular rotation (about every 10k, or less).

  • BargainDude8 on 03/07/2023 - 06:31

    Anybody have experience with the ADVAN Sport V107? Especially regarding longevity? Have Conti SportContact 6s currently and the wear has been terrible and grip has never been great in the wet.

      Some reviews are saying not great on the wear. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Yokohama/Advan-Sport-V107.h…
      Grip is its strong suit.
      I'm running Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 which I found to be a good balance of wear to grip. On a FWD sports sedan.
      For traction and handling, Hankook also make the Ventus RS4s which I have used on a track car and it's wear is also surprisingly great. Good other option for a weekender, not so much for daily use.

      • BargainDude8 on 03/07/2023 - 10:45

        Good option, will look into it. Had the Hankook Ventus on my last car and they lasted twice as long as my Contis will have when they come off (soon). Old car was a wagon, new car is a performance SUV, so a bit heavier.

      • fillit on 03/07/2023 - 20:25

    • Tim349850 on 05/07/2023 - 17:34

      Check the manufacturing date of the rear tyres, it is a 4 digit number, first two are week and last two are year. If they are old or cracked then replace them in a 3 for 1 deal. Otherwise move rear tyres to front and buy two new tyres.

  • Igaf on 15/07/2023 - 17:25

    BJ rep told me they get 25% off every one of the above tyres they buy. So, in theory you might be able to negotiate a deal for two tyres. Worth asking if that's your situation.
