Discount Tires usually has some good deals. Especially at the holidays.

 

Discount Tire is an active supporter of this forum and has excellent prices. If your local Costco can't provide what you need, DT likely can.

 

Dt certainly can supply you even if yhey pull from their warehouse. They will match the lowest price you find.

 

Thank you for the recognition. We can certainly honor the lowest price for piece of mind and ship to any zip code in the U.S. @javagenki don't hesitate to send us a D.M. if you would like our assistance.

 

My Subaru dealer had the best price when I was looking. Beat the others.

 

who exactly were the "others".

 

Another vote for America's/Discount Tire here. Service, selection, and price are always a huge .

 

Just out of curiosity, I checked Haldeman's price and Discount Tire. Discount tire is $234, Haldeman is 191.85. Just bringing up the point that people should check their dealers for a price also. You never know.

@packout you are absolutely right, with our new relationship with Tire Rack, we have both brick and mortar and mail order fully covered. If there is not a Discount Tire store location near you, Tire Rack has recommended tire installers in your area they can refer you to. With Discount Tires Low Price Promise, if we are off the mark on price we would adjust accordingly. Then you have us on the forum to assist you with your tire/wheel purchase journey. How easy is that?

 

Knowing I was approaching 30k miles and the OEM Falkens probably weren't going to last much longer, I started my tire researching several months ago. I had it narrowed down to three or four tires. Two months ago, I took the 2019 Ascent into the dealership for an oil and filter change (because my back doesn't cooperate with crawling under a vehicle anymore and I like the service department there) and they told me the tires were showing some belt material on the inside edges of the two rear tires. I've never let my tires get to that point. I had to make a quick decision because I wasn't going to drive on those tires any longer...at 29,130 miles they were toast. Therefore, I ended up ordering my tires through the dealership after discovering they had a decent, albeit, slightly lower price than what I could get locally. I learned after I ordered them, the dealer gets the tires from Tire Rack, which had included the two year road hazard warranty. I went with Falken WildPeak A/T Trail tires and I've been pleasantly surprised by them. This should be the OEM tire for the Ascent!
If I had a little more time, I probably would of ended up at Discount Tire, but it is what it is. I always go to DT to get the tires for my ///M3.

 

they told me the tires were showing some belt material on the inside edges of the two rear tires.

I sure hope you got the vehicle aligned to insure your new tires don't have that kind of edge wear. That's not the tires...it's the vehicle.

 

I also recommend @Discount Tire. They've been taking care of my tire (and wheel) needs for ten years, and shipping what I need to my favorite installers.

 

Don’t laugh, but get a quote from Walmart. We found some Pirelli Scorpions for $165/tire that were over $200/tire at DT. Discount Tire matched the Walmart price.

 

My OEM tires ran thin @25,000 miles with winter coming.

I got new Michelin Climate 2s from a local dealer, VA Tires. The Michelins are rated for twice the mileage I got on the OEMs, backed up by warranties, and cost @$200 less than the Subaru wanted for replacement OEMS. Balanced and installed. Plus the ride was much improved.

 

For those who are on the fence about "mail ordering" from Discount Tire Direct/Tire Rack because of the perception that the tires, wheels, or the mounted combo thereof just gets plunked on your driveway by your UPS person and then you're completely left to your own devices, know that there are now many full-service "comes to your door" mobile installers who can not only dismount/mount your full wheel/tire combo, but can even mount/dismount and balance tires to wheels, including TPMS.

Both Discount Tire Direct and Tire Rack offer this type of services, whether it be their own staff or via contractors.

Additionally, one should never be shy about asking for a price-match when at your local brick-and-mortar, be it a generations-long mom-and-pop shop or even your favorite Subaru dealership. In many instances, they can and will price-match, and it's not entirely uncommon for local prices to even better that of the big internet sellers (who themselves in-turn will price-match - so you get the idea here, right? ). Don't be shy: be an informed and educated consumer, and the power is literally in your hands.

 

@TSiWRX ...exactly and very well said my friend!

 

@TSiWRX thank you so much for the recognition. Could not have said it better!

 

I've been using Discount Tires for a long time now. They have a nice website where you can see what tires they have in stock at the local store and which ones they can get but are not in stock. My experience with the local store has been very good and I had an experience with another store when I was travelling which was also very good. Both times I wanted tires that were not in stock and they got them in, in very short order, one of them was the same day. I was hesitant at first with the on-line ordering and appointment setting for the local store, but it actually works out very well. I've gotten to the point where I will spot check their prices, but around here, they've got the best price, especially when you consider the service you receive.

 

@Countrylife thank you for your business and support. We appreciate the recognition as well.
