Well again, they price-matched Tire Rack. I merely walked in and told the manager that I'd like to give him my business since he's right next door but Tire Rack's prices were substantially cheaper. Without a blink, he said he'd match their prices. And I paid $645 for all six tires WITH tax. With money being tight, people are putting things off as long as possible. I mentioned to a neighbor that his Camry was in desperate need of tires six months ago. He finally got them after tread separation on 2 of them a month ago. I'm sure most any tire shop - other than Sears and the likes because prices are set by corporate - would be willing to make a deal for your business. I wasn't only a service advisor in my day. I managed a Goodyear store or two as well. I doubt anyone on here isn't a talented enough shopper to do the same..

I broke it down this way. Say I got the 6 tires shipped to my apartment at $520. Add Tire Rack's road hazard and it would have been another $70. I would then have to stuff them in each car and find tire shop to mount & balance them at a reasonable rate. The going rate in my area seems to be $20+ if you didn't buy them there. Even if I managed to find a $10 per tire shop, that's $60, so I'm up to $580 total - AND I did not purchase road hazard from Tire Rack at that price so I'd have been doomed if I blew a tire. I ultimately got the same tires, with better coverage at pretty much the same price as the tires alone. And a warranty claim is as close s the nearest Discount Tire. Plus they send you email alerts for rotation. Just got that done today.
