[Shotimes] Tires

[Ron Porter]

I may need to look into Costco next time, but I've had such good success
with DT and TR that I don't see a reason to change.

They are building a new Belle Tire in Lake Orion. Going back 20 years, I
heard bad things about them, and then I used the Troy store once for tires,
and had a so-so experience (bad balance, and BS to get them redone). I would
consider using them again, but their deal would have to be better (not just
match) the DT and TR duo.

Discount tire is usually pretty good except for the fact that they will 
not honor my tire warranty on a sidewall split on two different tires 
that are under Dunlop's warranty still and discount tires own warranty. 
So I'm not to thrilled with them at the moment. Sams club was great for 
my BFG's and the road hazzard was included in the price and they stood 
by it very well. My tire rack purchase's have gone pretty well it's 
sometimes getting them installed that can be a bitch if you don't have a 
tirerack installer in the area, Don't buy 4 tires from tirerack and 
expect discount to be real friendly about installing them! I'll let you 
know how Belle Tire is now that Dunlop and I have worked out an 
agreement that they will replace my 4 A2 Sports and my 4 Sport 5000's 
with any tire I choose. I'll see my nephew and see what kinda discount 
he's been talking about to try to get me new tires.

tires that the other doesn't. I have been very happy with both. We have
Discount Tire stores here in the Detroit area, and they will honor their
online prices at the stores. I have also had great results with the approved
Tire Rack installers that I have used. The Discount Tire store also sold me
a tire warranty for tires that I bought from someone else (I had them
install them).
