I found that to be true, that that dealer is the least expensive, however, only if you live there...... because when you add in the shipping it ends up adding up. Nevertheless, they are worth a call to see if you can get cheaper shipping, maybe it depends where you live but they have rules they have to follow so they don't undercut other Nokian distributors, kinda upset me. You can also go to the Nokian Tire website and click "Dealers" to see approved dealers in your state, and call them all up to get a quote. But, you are likely to receive much higher quotes than the seller I ended up going with. The seller that was definitely the least expensive for me (here in Denver anyways) is out of Michigan called Tire Factory. Total cost with shipping & handling included.... total cost for 4 tires approx $900 including the "club Touareg" discount. Then you have to find a local installer/balancer.... you should not pay more than $50 total for all that, mounting balancing, etc... thats $50 for all 4 tires. So all in all $950 going this route. One thing to consider is that this $50 tire mounting doesn't include free mounting/balancing for life. Of course, these are off-season prices. Just wanted to contribute to all the helpful info I've gotten on this board. Now the fun part, I can't wait to try out my new Nokians on the Beast !Can anyone with Nokians put a picture up? The picture on the Nokian website is not very good, want to see them in real Touareg life. Thanks!
They work great for me here in UT and I use my Treg to get me up the mountain to the ski resort so I am sure you will get around just fine in NY. I also used them to do the Rally in CO this year as well and they worked just fine.
Just put the Nokians on this weekend - on my 120 mile ride home this morning they seem as good as everyone had indicated.
