I needed to buy a bunch of truck tires for different vehicles. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to buy them online that are cheap? Thanks! Eric P "Be as beneficent as the sun or the se
I have purchased two sets from tirerack.com--most recenlty last week. Since I end up not having to pay sales tax (they must not have a presence in WI) it is pretty much cheaper than going local. (wit
There is the tirerack, of course. But it's really worth calling some local places. Margins on tires aren't that high, and lots of them are pretty competitive, and you might get someone to cut you a d
The mounting (and disposal) cost is what sways/ed me. I could have gotten a comparable set from a local(ish) place about a half hour away for about the same money but mounting etc was NOT included in
I've found that Discount Tire (a national chain, part of Tire Kingdom and another group or two) is very competitive and has or can get most any tire I've ever asked for. No tune-ups, no oil changes,
David writes... I'm finding this out now. Seems that everywhere prices are pretty much the same. I custom fitted my HF tire changer to a movable mount about a year ago and I love any chance I get to
I can not say enough good stuff about Tire Rack, and have ordered probably over a dozen sets or pairs of tires from them in the last 20 years. OTOH, with a little haggling, you may be able to get a l
I've been a customer of Tire Rack since the mid-'80s, buying many street and race tires from them. As for the problem of shops not liking you bringing in tires bought online to mount, Tire Rack has a
I've not seen an online place that sells real truck tires... Are you talking about 19.5 / 22.5 tires, or light duty truck tires? Light duty tires I'd buy from Tirerack. Their prices are inline with
I've looked at their recommended installers directory, and called some of them and the prices they quote are sky high. Like $20 - $40 per tire, which completely kills the pricing. OTOH, when I've jus
I have had good experience with TireRack too, but also learned something important the first time I used them. I ordered the tires and then made an appointment with one of their listed installers to
I have had the same experience. Discount tire has always beat tire rack for me Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T I have had good experience with TireRack too, but also learned something important the first
I've used Tire Rack over the years with no problems, but I tried out Discount Tire back in June when I needed new wheels to fit over my new (larger) brakes. Found what I wanted on their site way chea
And speaking of which, and totally off topic... As Todd and the other PNW members know, Les Schwab is a chain in the Northwest, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana mostly. It's owned by the Schwab
I have shopped TR but never bought tires from them, partly because all of their listed installers in our area appear to be a bit odd. I had a Bridgestone/Firestone dealer near me and I never went the
I'm not so sure I'd go so far as to call them experts. I've gotten 3 sets of tyres from Discount for my A6 and one set for my MGA. The A6 always had at least one with a slow leak, except for the OEM.
They sold me a set of tires that were the incorrect size, and lied about it. Wrote the wrong thing on the invoice, even. I didn't notice until a week or two later, when I was on the highway and notic
Which is the trick, IMO. Get a price first, then bring them the tires. I frequently buy from TR, and I never go to one of their listed installers. -- Randall ________________________________________
