Tire discount program discrepancies/discussion (split from Re: Prevost Community Fuel Discount Progr

46% savings on Michelin Tires? I highly doubt that figure. We just purchased 6 new Michelins through the FMCA Advantage Program and saved just under 17% which seems more realistic.

Bill,

I helped one of my friends purchase 295/80R 22.5 Michelins for his Monaco recently.  One tire dealer wanted $1000 for each tire.

Through my discount truck tire dealer(no FMCA discount), we got them for $700 mounted, taxed and balanced.  That is 30% off the price of the tire.  So it would be more percent off of the dealer's out the door price.

Sorry your realistic price was only 17% off.

I think the difference is in the quoted retail price.  We were quoted 735.00/ea retail and ended up paying 611.00 thru the program for the tires only.  We had to pay the labor/valves/balancing ourselves which was 61.00 ea.  So each tire cost us a net of 672.00 incl tax.  BTW the OEMs were placed on the coach (275/80 22.5) which I believe are a little pricier than the 295s. FWIW
