Default Tire Rack Tires

Picked up 4 new Firestones from Tire Rack today and they are great folks to deal with. I`m lucky they have a warehouse about 20 miles from my house. I called in my order as required, drove there and my tires were on the dock waiting for me. It took all of 15 minutes to pick them up and be on my way. I will do this again for my F-250.

I've ordered a few times from them for my newer cars and found them great to deal with. Their prices are hard to beat. The last set of tires I bought for my 02 were here the next day and were $150 less per tire than the local Goodyear store.

They also have a nice websight that allows you to see the feedback from people who have purchased tires you are considering.

Me too! The feedback is especially helpfull when you are considering a purchase based on price rather than past experience.

I like their comparisons and test results too. I've been buying my Michelin's from them the last couple of sets. They have a lot better selection than most of the local tire shops .

Default tire rack

fyi , you can print out their online quote from tire racks website and take it to an NTB and they will match the price. Tire Rack supplies most of the tire places in our area.

I do the same thing with Big-O tires out here. They either will match the price or tell me to just go ahead and order them. Either way, I have them install and balance the tires. Hard to beat either way.

Tire Rack will also drop ship to NTB and many other tire stores in your name so you don't have to get them there.

I bought a set of tires for my wife's Mazda CX-7 from Tire Rack. Will buy tires from them again. I had the tires in 2 days with regular shipping.
