Anyway, I need new tires, but Honda dealership wanted over $700 for tires on a Honda Fit, very small car/tires.

Can you recommend a reputable place? I know NOT to go to Tire Choice, but is another tire shop like Tire Kingdom or something like that best or a local garage like Wildwood tire or even just go to Walmart or Sam's Club

Thank you for your advice
Well I can't make much of a place recommendation, I go over to the coast for mine. You should be fine with a Honda dealer, really the pricing isn't all that much different any more.

More important is the tire. Brands do matter in Florida, as the brands that last better meaning less wear and rot are (in no particular order) Pirelli, Bridgestone, Toyo. Overall road comfort is important as you don't require nitrogen fill either - these 3 are the best of the breed,
