Option 1 is Duravis Trailmark at 118 each. Option 2 is Kumho Solus at 142 each. mounting and balancing is 22 per tire, valve stems 4 per tire, disposal 5 per tire. alignment 89 only if she wants it, put it as an add on. tax is 7% on everything. tech said inside edge of both fronts is worn down to the cords and there's a bulge on the left rear sidewall. Kumho has a 60,000 mile warranty per the sheet. Didn't get the Duravis warranty yet. I'd go with the Kumho, she drives a lot of highway.

The difference is $102.72.

Our recommendation: We recommend Option 2, the Kumho Solus, because you do a lot of highway driving.

Questions for the owner

What is the warranty on the Duravis Trailmark? It was not provided, so it is left out.
Should the quote have an expiration date or a note on how long the prices are held?

What it does

Takes the tire options a shop has priced for a customer and turns them into a clear side-by-side comparison with correct totals. The customer can see what each option includes and what it costs, and choose.

Use it when: Use when a tire shop needs to lay out two or more tire options side by side for a customer, such as "compare these tire quotes," "give them good, better, best," or "write up the options for this customer."
