Call Allied and see if one of the major companies is offering rebates. I got a set of either BF or Wranglers for half off in the 1st quarter the year 2 years ago.

Discounttiredirect.com, print out the price, bring it to Allied or Simple Simon to price match. I have done it numerous times.

Not sure if it is the best, but I used to go to Skid Marks when I lived in BR off of Lee just before Burbank.

I don’t think Skid Marks exists anymore. I think they got bought by Tire Engineers.

Do you have a place you normally go to for maintenance?

Most of them will price match and be very competitive to online retailers. I just bought a new set of tires from my local place, paid about $20 more out the door than if I ordered them online and had them mounted. By ordering them locally, I got them next day and now get free rotations and balancing. Since it’s my local, normal place to go for oil changes and the like, I’m more likely to use the service.

The best place to get new tires in BR is probably on your vehicle

Call about 4-5 places and get the best price.
The ABC tires sold at one place are the same as the exact same ABC tires sold at another. They are all just distributors and service installers.

Chabil's had the best price on the tires I wanted last time (Goodyear). So, I went with them.

I previously have tried 2 other tire sets.
The first was a Bridgestone tire and surprisingly the Goodyear place had the best price.
The other was a Firestone, and Plantation Tire on Highland had the best price.

Go to Tirerack.com, find the tire you want for your vehicle. Then call around town and find the place that will give you the best bottom line price on those tires. Good Luck!

I personally like Chabill's. Plus they will beat any price you can find and if you get tires there you get a discount on oil changes.

Southeast tire, they can order new tires for much cheaper than many places.
