through GM parts department by matching Tirebuyer cost of $81.60 each ( ECOPIA EP422 Tires by Bridgestone at TireBuyer.com ) and $100 rebate through GM ( http://www.mycertifiedservicerebates.com/pdf/GMN.pdf ) . The free shipping / handling is a must , otherwise any S/H charges are added to the price . Some GM parts departments may not match the internet price of Tirebuyer or other sellers that may have a lower price without a S/H fee making for a better deal .

Tirebuyer price is $85.05 with no S/H fee , PROCONTACT ECOPLUS Tires by Continental at TireBuyer.com . Good Luck .
