Places to buy tires and rims - Helpful and those to avoid

**waskillywabbit** · 08-15-2009, 06:30 PM

Saw another good place tonight that I checked out but I'll let that person post it up.

Please post only places you have had direct experience with yourself. No hearsay or second party information. I like places that post availability in real time as lots of times I've found "low" prices, but none "in stock".

I've bought several sets of rims and tires from 4Wheelparts when they've had free shipping specials on.

Post em up.

I recently got a set of 33x10.5x15" BFG MT KM2s from www.onlinetires.com for $159.xx each shipped. I ordered one at a time over the course of 4 weeks, as I'm really terrible at saving money, so it was just easier for me.

The first one I ordered online, and my card was not charged and I did not hear anything from them for almost a week. I called, talked to a very helpful guy and we got it straightened out. He suggested that I call the orders in from then on. I did, and had no more problems whatsoever. On all but one occasion they'd ship the day after I'd order, and would arrive two days after that (CA to TX). The one time they didn't, he warned me on the phone when I ordered that they were waiting for another shipment, and it would be a few days.

Anyway, highly recommend, just call in instead of using the web!

well right now at my tire shop (americas tire co.) we have a special that if you buy a set of BFG's any type or size you will get a 70 dollar rebate, not trying to market or anything but i think thats a good deal. im pretty sure its nationwide, and its called discount tire in every state but california i think so look for those i guess

I've heard great things about Discount Tire and also Costco tire sucks.

gTgarrett · 09-08-2009, 06:56 PM

I think discount tire has the same quality tire as anybody else, but from my experience their customer service is terrible. I bought a set of wheels that for some reason did not have the center caps, but I was assured that they would have them within 2 weeks max. 2 years, 8 trips to discount tire, and 5 different idiot employees took down my number went by, and still no center caps.
Sorry for the rant but I think discount is a joke.

Bought the Trxus at 4wheelparts.com and my Nittos at Discount Tire. No problems with either place, good prices and free shipping to their stores in WA.

i've bought the last 2 sets of tires from Discount Tire.... they will have my business for life. i've been so impressed with their warranty and customer service.

I've always bought through americas tire (discount tire outside of cali) and always had great service. I've trashed so many tires that i got replaced for practically nothing. They didn't even ask me why my tires were worn out with so few miles...

im not quite sure if i want yet, but does anyone have some black rims that they would like to trade for my stock wheels they are 15x8 with fresh white poweder coat. you can see some pics in my other thread.

vital22re · 09-12-2009, 04:42 AM

i like discount... if i find the same tire else where they usually price match for me. Good enough for me.

I bought a set of TSW rims and BFGoodrich tires for my Audi at Discount Tire. Had them shipped to the shop in Bellingham, WA for free. After over a year I hit a razorblade on a front tire and sliced it really bad; beyond repair. Took it to the shop and a new tire would've been like $150, but the dude at the counter sold me the warranty instead for $120 bucks for all four tires. So I got a new tire under warranty and a warranty on all others for less than what another single tire would've cost. Pretty pleased. I'd buy more tires from them for sure.

As with many tire places, it depends on the quality of people working there. I had a great experience at Costco and bought some BFG's with the limited $70 rebate. Great deal and I couldn't find anyone who could beat the price here in CO.
