When you guys (and Gals) are shopping for new tires / wheels check out www.tirerack.com I found many smokin deals there, for instance, when I had to replace the stockers, and at the local Good Year shop, the "managers personal best price" was $260.00 + Tax, & mounting each for a Goodyear Wrangler RT/S 265/75/R17
On tirerack the same tire (factory perfect, not a blem.) was $93.00, and no Tax to boot! I paid $10.00 UPS shipping, I was just amazed at the savings, they are pretty competitive on rims as well.
Check out their "upgrade garage" feature it allows you to preview many different rim and tire combo's on your trucks, even change the exterior paint color! (prevents some UGLY mistakes)

No, really, I dont work for them, but perhaps someone there will appreciate my efforts to spread the news, and send me some free rubber as a "spiff"
I would like 365/75/R16's thanks guys!!

You can also get sears to price match tire rack. I did this on my mustang. They will charge you the shipping that tirerack does (which is fair), but the whole transaction is local. Getting 4 tires delivered to my house and having to lug them around isn't fun.

Is that Sear's or Tire America that will match Tirerack? That is nice to know although I really hated the service I receive at Tire America, they truly su*k.


BTW, The TireRack will drop ship your new tires to where ever you want and they have thousands of 'agreements with affiliates' that will recieve and install your new tires at great prices as well.

My last service at Sear's sucked, too. I dropped my Expy off for new BFG's, and was told it would be @ 1.5 hours 'til finished. No problem, I told him, I'll go across the street to the theater and watch a movie. I returned 3 hours later to see it sitting in the same parking space with the old tires still on it. I go in and ask for my money back, as I'm going somewhere else for my tires. Manager says he'll have them on in 15 minutes if I'll wait. I go and get a sandwich, and return 45 minutes later to find them just finishing it up, only they put the white letters on the outside after I specified blackwall out. So now another 30 minutes for them to flip the tires. Then as I get in it to leave, I notice they didn't put my old tires in the back of the truck as I asked (so I could use the on my trailer). I go in and ask the manager for my old tires, and it takes him 20 minutes to find the guys who did the work (they were sitting in their Cavalier parked behind the store smoking a doobie) and get my old tires back. Not once during the whole ordeal did the manager say "sorry 'bout that". So it'll be a cold day when Sear's gets any more of my money.

 

Ill have to agree, I really found Tire Rack useful when i was looking to upgrade my tires and rims. I never bought from them, but the ability to see what a 20" rim would look like on my Silver truck right on the website was very helpful.

I have bought from the TireRack and Discount Tire several times over the years, including taking advantage of their mount and balance specials. I dont see a reason to buy locally ever again. Much better selection of tires than I can find around here.
