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
6 year old tires should not have dry rot. Use the Lincoln penny test to check the thread, and question the motive of whoever said you need new tires. Were they trying to sell you something? Still in doubt? Go over to Sumter Tire in Wildwood.
