Most liked posts in thread: Discount Tire Pricing

My 2¢:
Several years ago, I asked the folks at Discount Tire if they’d be able to match Tire Rack. It seemed fair to me that the Discount Tire price for tire and tax be compared to Tire Rack tire and shipping. Mounting/balancing is the same no matter the source of the tire.
In any event, no matter how you arrive at the calculation, it is the out-the-door price between the two that I was interested in comparing. They are consistently less than Tire Rack – sometimes by only a few dollars and other times by substantial margins.

 

Just go to Canal Winchester and deal with Stewart. Sure it is a drive for people on the north side but the guy takes care of car enthusiasts like none other.

As with others I fundamentally agree if Tire Rack includes fees in their out the door price then Discount Tire should match the price including fees. It just seems fair that you would match the final price. That said 9 times out of 10 if you order tires from tire rack they arrive the next morning, most ship from Indiana so even ground comes really fast. I once ordered a set of wheels and tires at 9:00 PM, they were on my porch by 9:00 AM the next morning.

 

So, where is the "new" store?

 

What you guys need to do is become good friends with a Mechanic that has a Tire Rack account. :wink:
If you are a really good friend maybe he will sell them to you for what he pays for them cost + shipping. My buddy even mounts and balances them for free.

Its so much cheaper.

 

Well the new group that took over that tire shop will not be in business long if they keep treating customers that way.

 

Shopping for tires myself right now. Which location treated you right? And who did you work with?

 

I'm going to bump this up since I just got new tires today. Forget Discount and all them.

Call Best One. They will come to you and install the tires for you. They came this morning about 11am. Fired up the generator in the box truck and just before noon I heard it turn off and went out to the sound of torque wrenches clicking. Awesome service. They will meet or beat any other tire price too.

 

Nice, are they coming to your place every 6,000 miles or so for a rotation & re-balance? If so that is a great service.

So far I've been treated very well by the folks at Discount Tire & will continue there.

 

They would...but not free (I assume). I think if they did a free lifetime balance and rotation you would have to go to their actual shop. :cornut: I am not sure if that is an option or not...never asked
