I'm on a low budget with the holiday season. I need to get one tire for my Jetta tomm. Since it went flat at work tonight. I dont want to get ripped off at the counter. How much should I expect to pay? Please help!

That depends on what tire you have on the opposite side of the car. you need tires that are at least close to matching treads on a car, especially if it's the front on a front wheel drive vehicle. I'd go to a small garage and see if they have any used tires that may match the one you have and see what deal I could get. Maybe call around to some tire places. Also, if the tire isn't alike and you are front wheel drive just have them rotate the tires and it will not affect it as much. My daughter just went through that. The car drove terribly after the new, used tire was put on, they had to move the matching tires to the front. Just a tip for you. Happy holidays and good luck. Maybe a family member has a couple of tires, ask around, look in the paper. Who knows.

Go to a used tire shop and pick one up for about 25 to 35 dollars with balancing and installation included. Just make sure that they don't charge more than that, and that the tire that they put on is in decent shape..... they might even have a used tire that is the same brand as the rest of the ones that you have. Good Luck

Is there a pep boys near you?? If so, try them first. They carry they're store brand that can be had for a very reasonable price. Remember, the price of the tire itself is just that, you also have to take into consideration old tire disposal fee and mounting and balancing. Good Luck!!

What size? 15" 16" 17"?
If a 15" figure about $50.
16" $80.
17" $100-120
Alot depends on the brand, speed rating, etc. you choose as well.

definitely less than $100. go to costco if you're a member, they have brand name tires for cheap, plus they fill them with nitrogen, which leaks less than air. a good way to save money.
