Buying tires

Too many choices of tires and places that sell them. Anyone use Discount Tires or Tire Rack before?

Tire rack was a great deal 10 years ago but the market has leveled off and local places will usually price match.
My dad swears by Sam's for tires

Find the price you want online.
Go to a tire shop and have them match it or come damn close. Then they’ll install them for free. Win.

Discount yes, good experience, good prices. Tire rack ships to you, iirc. Then you have to pay for mount and balance, which raises the price some

Costco

Next time I need tires I plan to get them from Costco.

I went there yesterday to follow up on an earlier quote. Received a different price ~ $50 higher than the first one. Still may use them and put it on the Costco Visa for the additional discount

Goodyear will match anyone's prices on their tires. You can buy online and schedule when you want them installed.

Them baws sold me a used tire for $35 one time. It had a slow leak in it but I wasn’t even mad.

Allied quoted me about $100 higher than Discount on a set of 35s I'm about to buy

I’ve had good experiences with Discount Tire.

Local Sam's club fricked up the balance on two tires.
Took it back they said nothing wrong.
Found a shop with a force balance machine. They found out the problem and fixed it with the quickest. If I would have bought it from that shop for about the same the force balance would have been free and done right the first time. Any money saved I lost and the extra time of two balances
Not sure the tech level at a Sam's type place.

I swear by MacDonalds tire on Florida at Sharp. Excellent pricing I have not seen Allied beat, free rotations, free flat fixing if a plug will do it.

Discount tire is the best. I had to get a new tire a month ago due a hole in sidewalk. Best price and from drive in to drive out was only 15 minutes

I typically do research on tirerack.com, as they have a hell of a lot of info and ratings. once I do all of the comparisons and chose the tire that I want to buy, I generally just go out and get it locally. I haven't seen much savings from buying online and having them installed locally.
