Yes. I bought Falken Azenis tires from them. They came quickly and shipping was free. There were a few other tire places that were cheaper, but after shipping they beat them all. Hope that helps.

Very happy with the price on OEM Nitto Invos that I got back in August. Recently I went a different direction with wheels and tires so they'll be up for sale soon.

I've bought several tires from them and always had a great experience. Just bought 2 a couple of weeks ago - they even called to make sure I meant to buy non-runflats -and the tires arrived in 3 days.

Make real sure just when they were manufactured. Tires have a shelf life and you don't want them if they're already a couple of years old...........

Yes, I've bought six sets of tires and one set of wheels from Discount Tire direct. Mostly Faulkens. Even though there are now Discount Tire locations in Oklahoma, if I buy them online, they still don't charge sales tax. Free shipping too. Also, if you check ebay, many times they run a 5 % discount on top of the regular price. Add a 8-15% bing.com cashback and I've saved some serious change. I'm a big fan.

I’ve used them several times over the past 7 years and have always been satisfied with them.

You can buy tires from Discount Tires Direct through E-Bay?

Also, how do you get the 8-15% off from Bing??

Thanks for the info.

Also used them a couple times, once with the Vette. Got from front Falkons with them, no problems, good prices.

Yes, Discount Tire has an ebay account.


As far as the bing cashback, the easiest way is go to bing.com, then type in something like "nintendo wii" and one of the first links that will come up is something like "Nintendo Wii...You may 8% off with Paypal if eligible". Click on the link to ebay and up at the top, there'll be a little ad about the cashback. You can buy anything on ebay and get the cashback, as long as it's a Buy It Now price, you check out the regular way (no third party checkouts) and you pay via paypal. You can get all of the details once in ebay.

I've gotten cashbacks up to 30% over the past year, but they're limited to $200 cashback per purchase last time I looked. I think you can use the cashback option 40 times per one account.

The percentage off changes from time to time and sometimes, they don't even have it at all. There is no rhyme or reason to the percentage that I can see. They had 15% off a couple of weeks ago.

The bing.com cashback is also good at other retailers, depending on what the link says. A couple of weeks ago, it was 20% off anything from walmart.com, including 52" lcd flatscreens.

It's free money as far as I'm concerned.

I'm happy with Discount Tire Direct. The free shipping makes them cheaper than Tirerack. I just bought a set of Yokahamas for a Durango last month with a $40. rebate. Always check their store on ebay first for the 5% deals.

I've bought two complete sets of tires from them over the past three years. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. Great service.
