Default Discount Tire

Greetings. Anybody out there have any experience with ordering from Discount Tire?
I have always used Tire Rack but it appears that I can save a few bucks by ordering the set I want at Discount. Do not want to save a few bucks on one end and get ripped on the other, however.

Ask Tire Rack to "price match". Worth a try.

Discount Tire has always been good to me - I use Tire Rack about 70% of the time, and Discount Tire the rest.

The two shops will have different pricing --- because Discount Tire does free ground shipping, while Tire Rack charges for shipping. So you have to compare the total shipped cost from each place.

Discount Tire is good though, I've had no problems with them at all.

I've had good experiences with them but for me Tire Rack is always cheaper because Discount Tire charges sales tax in the states they have retail operations. In my case OH.

Same price in the store as online so go ahead and go to a store and have them installed for free. Just pay sales tax.

Use them all the time, walk in with tire rack pricing and they'll typically beat the price by a few bucks.
