Through my job one our clients is Firestone and they offer us cost on their tire brands + free mounting balancing and road hazard. Does anyone know the markup on tires? Is there a standard? the best I was able to locate was just under 20% reported in 2010. Curious if we have anyone on here that works in the industry and could provide feedback.
Working on deciding between three Firestone brand tires in 205/45 or 50/16:
- Potenza RE-11 $150 Retail
- Potenza RE-71R $145 Retail
- Firehawk Indy 500 $80 Retail (I know the least about this tire, but Tire Rack has reviewed it highest in its group and the thread in this forum seems positive http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=217 )
Or just replacing the stock
- Potenza RE-50s $120 Retail
