What's this?

I got so tired of taking vehicle back to the tire dealer and them telling


me well you didn't rotate them when you should have or your SUV was out of alignment. They had many other excuses to not honor the tread warranty so I just go to a local tire shop /warehouse and can usually get a 4 set of the same brand used tires for $150.00 or 2 for $75.00

Usually with 70% or better tread remaining. Sometimes I have to get 2 of one brand for the front and 2 of another brand for the back. Nobody notices or cares. I put 35,000 a year on my car so I have gotten about 60,000 on the current set of used tires.

To bad they don't have a Discount Tire up that way. Their site has ratings for the tires and number in stock at each store and will tell if there is a manufacturer's rebate. They also offer a credit card with 6 months 0% financing. Just got a new set for my daughter's car. Good tires at $280.00. I have gotten top-of-the-line Michelins there for my wife's car at under $400.00 with the rebates plus no interest for 6 months.
