My last two sets of tires were purchased from America's Tire/Discount Tire. Why?
- Great service - in and out within an hour. Be sure to make an appointment. The only thing I don't like is the wait in line at the store waiting to be checked in.
- Great prices
- Remember to purchase when there are manufacturer's rebates as well as Discount Tire rebates. They stack! This usually happens a couple times a year. Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day etc .
- Purchase on discounttiredirect.com to avoid sales tax.
- I had it shipped to my house and brought the tires in myself. I've read that you can have it shipped directly to the store.
- Don't purchase any of the extras (valves/TPMS sensor etc). If necessary, you can add it at the store.
- Click through certain sites for extra cashback,
- They offer a warranty program but did not aggressively upsell. That is up to you.
- I did not purchase the special warranty for any of my tires. One time I got a punctured tire that they were unable to fix. I wasn't surprised as the screw was at least quarter-inch diameter.
- One tire developed a slow leak that they were able to patch for free.
- I've read that you can negotiate the price of the warranty.
Some friends go to Costco for tires. Why don't I go to Costco?
- Costco's infamous long wait
- Costco has fewer choices
