discount tire is actually Discount Tire - they are one of the nation's largest tire retailers. They sell a complete line of tires - all sizes and speed ratings.

Correct it is a huge retailer here. I got a michelin tire. It cost like $130

changing subj/poss. hijacking, but Discount Tire is the best. I got a set of cheap Coopers a couple years ago, lasted 20k, so I complained and negotiated a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 225/45/17s for $150 apiece.

Most importantly, they advised rotating AND balancing these every 3k, which they do for FREE.

They seem very customer-focused and the free rotations every 3k for the past 25k (yes, 25k on Z-rated tires and still only 50% worn) has saved them wear, and also saved ME probably $300-$400 in tire maintenence.

Give em a try. If you are a clueless minivan driver and go in there, they will sell you a tire based on class, rating, and price, like it's a drive-thru menu. Go in with knowledge of what tire you want (do your own research), see what they have in stock ( I wanted Pilot Exaltos but the Sports were in stock) and make a deal, and you will come out with a win

Discount Tire did stand by their warranty for me and gave me my new front tire for free but they also used not so subtle pressure to get me to buy 3 new tires as well. I had to decline the other 3 new tires at least 5 times but Sears did the same thing to me years ago on one of their tires going bad so I was used to it.
