I was sort of wondering that as well

I've purchased 3 sets of tires from TireRack and had them installed (when not purchased already mounted on new wheels) at their recommended installer and have had very positive results. I will need tires within the year and plan on getting the AS3+ run flats; but, I will check prices at Costco for a comparison.

I just bought tires off TireRack for the first time. Had looked at my options but when I went to order them the price had gone up $20 a tires. I sent a note and said I know prices change all the time but I got caught in a change and asked for an adjustment. They immediately gave me the credit. No hassles no problems. Impressive.

Luke,

The consensus is that you guys are doing a great job and your prices are some of the lowest. Keep up the good work.

Luke,

Hmmm . . . I didn't mention that when I ordered yesterday. Is there a discount?

I prefer to use local merchants whenever possible. I get same pricing and much better service. I was only charged $4.20 to repair the flat tire, what would Tire Rack do?

BTW, for the $4.20 charge, the tire store removed the tire from the wheel, repaired the hole with the state of the art patch system, remounted the tire with new valve stem and high speed balanced the repaired tire!

Oh, the crow was delicious!

Since most all of the tires we sell have a 2 year road hazard protection plan at no additional charge Tire Rack would have covered 100% of the repair costs and/or replacement cost of the tire if it was not repairable.






With Tire Rack's free Tire Road Hazard Protection, your tire repair or replacement is reimbursed

Really ?
Perhaps you missed the fact the tires were 3 years old and Tire Rack would have done NOTHING!

How do you infer hard ride from a photo?

What a bunch of crap. I've had the previous model on my C6 and they were very soft and quiet. I'm sure that these are even more so.
