quote:just not the Baton Rouge one because you will not get an appointment for at least a week, they will order the wrong tire, or put it back on the rim incorrectly
you can get them repaired / replaced at any COSTCO,
Or not order enough tires, like another poster added

Consumer Reports has a section on tires in their book. Michelin in most every type tire category, is #1 or close to it. This is all I buy now, I drive on the interstate a lot, sometimes late night, early morning. I don’t want to worry about a problem driving.
I have right at 70,000 miles on my tires now, got them rotated and balanced yesterday. The tire gauge by them, tells me I can get lots more miles on them. But I keep them rotated. That’s how you get the mileage on a set of tires.

Both trucks have Walmart tires and I have not had any problems in the 2 years. They also installed them.

Another longtime Discount Tire customer. Whoever owns this company knows how to run a business. Ive always had the best service buying and having tires installed. Price match anyone on the planet and get me in and out in no time. Truly one of the last great stores in America that deliver on what they promise.
And Michelin is the only brand I will ever buy again. If they have a mileage guarantee, they stand by that 100% or will prorate the difference when purchasing a new set. The guys at discount told me there is no need to buy the road hazard certificates if you buy Michelin, because they come with them anyway.

My one experience. They could not figure out how to lower the spare on a Ford F150. I had to show them. They also put the wrong size tire on.

Do not, at least where I live. "Have a problem, right now? Make an appointment, oh, in about a week,b or..., show up, and be prepared to wait 2-3 hours while we work it in."
Happened to me last week. Went to Discount Tires instead. They fixed it for free in under 15 minutes.

Local place here in laffy was cheaper than Costco when I got new ones on the wife’s (no pics) car a couple years ago. I was going with whoever was the cheapest. I hate having to buy tires.

Discount Tire is best service I have ever had and not close. Multiple states, too. Consistent.

Discount tire
I'm a big fan of Discount Tire. I brought my car there after a flat and they honored the road hazard policy of the previous owner. I had no idea the history of that tire and expected to pay full price.
They actually honored the road hazard twice on the car though I knew to ask about it the 2nd time.
THey earned my business and I just bought a set of 4 last weekend.
