First of all if you do need tires? I would only replace the two front tires for now because the front tires do the steering and a flat in the front is more dangerous then in the rear

The Truth About Tire Treadwear - Consumer Reports

Check out the sidewall picture for codes of your tire. I've had original tires wear out before 30K.

I trust Sumter Tire and Auto in Wildwood to be honest with you. I buy most tires at Costco or Sams.

You can also go to TireRack.com to see what tires they recommend for your car. A tire is not a tire.

Good luck in trying to get anyone to answer the phone in the garage!! I guess, if you are serious about getting new tires at Sams Club, better to go there in person.

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
We have used Wildwood tire for years and always find their prices to be competitive. Service is great and they are a family owned, family run business. We get tires for my BMW, my husband’s Dodge Ram truck and our 38 foot 5th wheel. Their advice on changing the type of tires we were using on our RV saved us from the blowouts that used to plague us on the road.

I could have written this same comment with the exception of the BMW.

Go to Tire Round-UP across from the 5 Min. Oil Change on 441 in Lady Lake. Jeff Grover (owner) will give you a fair price and he is an excellent, honest, mechanic.
