HELP! 2014 Roadster Tires & Battery
 

Took my little 2014 Roadster Sport Touring in for an oil change at 30,000 miles and after making me extremely mad by suggesting $700 of un-needed maintenance on a maintenance contract, had it up on the rack and the Bridgestone Potenzas are unsafe, battery also shows needs replacement.
Checked the local Bridgestone dealer and it looks like $1,154 out the door for all four and $191 for an interstate battery.
What do you guys think? any better performance tire options? could probably benefit more from a better ride.
I thank everybody for reading and responding in advance and look forward to your input.

You might want to check the Wheels and Tire thread.

:iagree:

you guys have been so helpful thanks

If it’s a DD, I’d recommend some quality A/S tires :ugh2:
Batteries have gotten more expensive lately; but I’m partial to my Optima batteries...other AGM’s out there, but I’ve had good luck with the Redtops :tup:

These are probably the best Ultra High Performance All Season tires; and they’ll give great performance & ride quality :tiphat:
Couple other brands aren’t bad...but they offer quite a few

Sarcasm appreciated very much. Use it myself all the time.

I’m guessing a Facebook regular?

You are so very welcome. Thank you for coming on here, starting a new thread on a topic that has been discussed ad nauseam, asking to be spoon-fed information without any effort to research the topic yourself first and then taking offense to the responses. Well played sir :tiphat:

Those are normal prices. Nothing to complain about.

I’m confused. You’re mad because they simply tried to upsell you? You do understand they are sales people right? No need to get mad. A simple “no” to them will suffice.

And in regards to your comment, just wait until OptionZero sees this thread :stirthepot:

That’s that “sarcasm” thingy, isn’t it? 🤔

maybe he really means a "Thank You"?

we can't really hear his tone by just reading the text...

There is no need to be extremely mad, every place of business will try to upsell parts and services. I work for a full-service car dealership and if I could sell you a new car because your current car simply needed an oil change, I would :hello:

Where is user 370zboyz? He usually posts something along the lines of calling us sissy pants or hissy pants in threads like this.

We won’t know. Per alcheng, we can’t hear jarblue’s tone either, so maybe he also really means his post?
