re: Best place for tires?

McDonald Tires 2 on Florida at Sharp. Unbelievable service and good prices.

I'm not sure if all their stores are run this well or if this one just has a heckuva good manager.

I've been in a few.
Always top notch and friendly service. The first I've seen cold bottles of water being offered while waiting for service.
I knew a guy that started off changing tires as a teenager in Las Vegas.
Stayed with the company and became a very successful western regional rep.
A genuine "work your way up the ladder" success story.

I like Tire Rack for the price and 2 year road hazard included.

They are all like this.

The one close to me, last time I was there, a pissed off giant lady was just being a complete a-hole to the staff.

She ain't got time for 'dis! Came in a clapped out Altima with 4 different tires, one with a flat. The employee told her he couldn't repair the tire and couldn't let her drive away. She's going ballistic before the guy even finishes telling her what he can do. After a few minutes of her cursing and smacking the counter, he was able to say that he thinks he has a used tire that would work.

She cuts him off, she ain't buying anything from them! He lets her rage for another minute, and he finally is able to tell her that it will be no charge.

This giant bitch that threw a fit was stunned. She was an absolute a-hole to this guy and he basically solved her problem of the day for free.


Chick-fil-a of tires.

if you are near a Discount Tire, do that. They can get busy and they can be expensive sometimes but worth it with the free rotations and balancing for life of tire and free plugging if somethiing happens (assuming they still do that). Bought a few sets from them and have had great experiences with them, granted I moved and dont live close to one anymore.

I will say if you are trying to push it a little (which half the leveled trucks on the road are rocking 35/12.5 on stock wheels), DT might refuse to do it depending on the stock wheel, even if it can be done and driven for the life of the tire with zero issues or rubbing.
