RICK GEISSLER: Hi, I'm Rick Geissler, expertvillage.com, coming to you from A&R Tire, talking about how to buy tires. When you're talking about tire pricing, the proliferation of sizes makes it almost impossible to tell someone how much they're going to pay for a set of tires. Our tires start at $19 a piece and go up to--yesterday, we sold a set for an Aston Martin for $3,200. So it's really tough to tell somebody what they should pay for a tire price. The tire pricing and the size of the tire is going to affect the pricing completely. In a 13-inch tire, 155-13 to, like say, 185/70/13, that very price range is going to be about $19 to about $54. And your 14-inch sizes, you can start at about $40 a tire and go up to about a $100, and your 15, about $60 to a $120. Seventeen, you're going to start out about $80. It could go up to, say, $200. Your 18-inch starts--it's going to start about $100. It could go up to $200-$300, depending on the price. In your light-truck tire market, most of your current products, you can expect to spend $600 to $700-$800 for a set of tires.
