Best place for tires

[skcbb]

I thought i would post this and hopefully its OK with the administrator. Ive been shopping for tires for my 05 f250. i decided to get Michelin LTX MS2 275 70 R18s and looked everywhere. i finally found the best advertised price at onlinetires.com. they were on sale for $869 with shipping for 4. only problem is theyre backordered...4-6 weeks before they can get them. so i went to discounttiredirect.com and priced them. the advertised price was $1004 but there was a link next to their price that said "found them cheaper somewhere else". i clicked on that and filled out a short form and the next day got a call and they offered them to me for $855!! PLUS they were in stock so I bought them. I havent got them yet but am tracking them on ups so they will be here in a couple days and im sure they will be in good shape. If not ill post any problems. thought you guys might want to know about this.

I generally go to Discount Tire (http://www.discountire.com) and take with me any ads or other online pricing I can find....plus they always are offering some sort of rebate(s). They are all over the country and along the interstates if you need them.

We have a 2004 Envoy, and nearly two years ago I replaced a set of SEVERELY sidewall-cracked Michelin tires with Yokohama tires. Well, after 14,000 miles and a trip back east to OH last October (we're in AZ), those tires started sidewall cracking. So a few weeks ago, I took it back to Discount, which in turn called Yokohama, and in short time, I got a new set of 4 tires for $350 (the original price for the 4 tires was nearly $1000. Well, while there, there was a 'rebate' advertised that said if you buy any 4 tires you get, I think it was $50 or something like that back in a rebate. I asked the store manager and he said, yea, all the invoice shows is that I bought 4 tires, so while I stood there , I applied for the rebate via my 'droid phone and that dropped the price to $300 (I got a check in two weeks)....I guess I could live with that, so I was OK with it. After several sets of tires, you get to know the manager. You never get that with buying "online" and then having to pay to get them mounted/balanced somewhere.

With Discount Tires, we drove across country and got the tires balanced and rotated before we headed back this way.

I bought 4 new Yokohama tires for my 2006 Sonata a few months ago as well, figuring I'd keep the car. Well, we traded the car for the Genesis in July. I went to Discount and asked the manager if the tire warranty I purchased on the $600 tires for the Sonata was refundable. He said no, but then offered me, at NO COST, the lifetime rotation and balance for the OEM Michelins that are on the Genesis, and that was fine by me. I could have bought the road hazard warranty separately for the tires as well (about $140 for the 4 expensive tires on the Genny), but since we got the tire and wheel warranty when we got the car, I opted not to do it with Discount (overlapping coverage, not necessary). So yea, I'll recommend Discount Tire anytime as they've always treated me great, and will match prices. IMHO, though, to me it doesn't pay to 'save a few' bucks to mail order tires (motorcycle tires included) and have to deal with all the extra hassle. IMHO, though.

Well my tires got here today and they are exactly what I ordered and got here (AR.) in 4 days via ups. I checked the age and they were made the 34th and 35th week of this year. Fresh off the press. Im impressed with these guys. Anyway... if your needing tires get your best price and discounttiredirect.com will beat the price. They came as 4 separate shipments without any packaging, just bare naked tires. Not sure that will always turn out good but it did in this order. Just my 2 cents worth

yes they have a good website. i bought a set a few years back from them and it was a good experience. my point was... do your research, find your best price, and present it to discounttiredirect.com and they will beat the price.
I will always choose the lowest price for the same merchandise and comparable customer service.
ill use them when i replace the dunlops on my genny
