So checked out discount tire. Seems like some great prices. Have you used them? I would love feedback.
Also a couple brands I have never run. I was hoping for some feedback on them.
Cooper and Falken. Both there a/t 3 designs. Both have 50k plus warrentys on them.
I would for sure buy the replacement plan they offer, if I bought them.
Thanks for any feedback.

My boss runs the same exact 10 ply tire on his 1/2 ton and gets 70k a set out of them.

I don't have personal experience with either tire.
Tires are application specific for best performance. It's always difficult to make a good comment with no info.
Tire size rig what the use of the rig etc are all important information.
Prices seem to vary wildly depending on the size. I've seen mounted sets of tires on wheels of a more common size for the same price as just the Rubber for an 18" wheel pickup tire. Your stock spare tire is often the most affordable size your rig will fit.
Tires require service if you order them online. Either you have to mount them yourself, which can be expensive if you screw up with the TPMS gear most new rigs have, or take them some place. And most tire shops will send you packing if you show up with online bought tires. Free flat repairs ,rotations and such are paid for though new tire sales so don't expect someone to take care of the competitors tires.
You could have them mounted up at a used tire shop or one of the online preferred installers, but I don't know anyone who has done that.

special T that is indeed my case. I can buy a new set of 17" wheels and tires for way less then just buying the tires to fit the blasted 20" wheels that are on this bighorn edition dodge.
If I grab a set of 17" wheels new from schwabs they will mount them up any tires that I bring in to go onto the new wheel is my understanding. Plus all the guys in here get killer gun deals so they don't want to send me packing :chuckle: No more gun deals :chuckle:

Im trying to decide on the St Maxx by Cooper and the falken wildpeak At3.
Both are right about 1000$ for 4 in a 295/70r18, or equivalent size.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 28, 2017, 06:58:22 PM
Check walmart (unless you don't like walmart) but I price compared locally and on-line and they were cheaper by a couple hundred bucks (yes, evendors compared to discount tire). I was comparing the cooper stt pros size 170/70-17.
I did take a look they were pretty close just a little more at walmart.
Looks like they have one of the sets of wheels I was looking at to. So if I am reading things right they will mount and balance for free. If I buy wheels and tires at the same time and ship to my house for free.

Ford dealer beat their price for me so I bought a set of 17" KMOs for my dog truck last fall. $180 each, E rated. Bought the KM2's for $190 ea for my F-350. Mount balance free and had an oil change for $100 at same time.
:tup:
Ford has a low price guarantee on tires. If it's a tire we sell, bring us a printed estimate from somewhere else and we'll beat it. There should never be any question about this at any ford dealer. Ford reimburses the difference to the dealer. You have to be comparing apples to apples. That's the only thing.

Post by: lamrith on July 29, 2017, 08:03:22 AM
What I do is look around and find online store that has tires I want at the best price and print out the pricing, I put them in cart and get the to my door price. If you go to discount with just the tire price and no shipping they will push back (as expected) countering about installation, shipping ,etc. Print out the online warranty too. Then just go in and say you are interested in buying a set and hoping they can do something/match the price. Last full set for my STSV they matched the price for the tires for me and they cut $ of lifetime warranties in half to match the online warranty. I was out the door for $<900 for Continental DW with lifetime warranties, mounted balanced and out the door. They did similar for the KO2's I put on back of the suburban last year.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 29, 2017, 08:26:26 AM
There is the store "Discount Tire" over here on the west side and it's super popular. Good service, good prices, etc. Then there is an online retailer called discount tire online or something like that and they are not one in the same. Just FYI there. As far as the tires themselves go, you've gotten lots of good advice. Discount Tire does not do alignments which is always recommended when you purchase new tires. Also understand that a 50k mile warranty only means the tires are warranted against defect for 50k miles. Normal wear is not a defect. Bulges in sidewall is not a manufacturers defect. Tires are hardly ever replaced under a warranty. Road hazard warranty is probably something worth having. That will cover a lot more.
When on there site I clicked there link for there installers and they give a list of the places. Just to make sure I would show up at the right one. Yeah defect is my biggest thought on the 50k warranty. The extra coverage you can buy for there warranty says it will cover road hazards and etc. It does say you may have to ship the tire in for inspection if they require it.

Now evergreen is Chevy and ford and I own two chevys and a ford. Which are old. They want to sell me two new trucks which I need. I get a good ass kissing but, they also have great employees which I now know and like. That means something to me. They understand that so, at this point they have a chance at some business which is probably two new trucks in the next year or two.

That's all worth a lot to the dealers too. A good service/parts dept should really value repeat customers like you. Customer Retention should be their #1 goal which is the big reason for the low price guarantee. We don't hardly make any money on tires in the first place. The reason we push them/discount them/otherwise bend over backwards is because we don't want you going to Schwan's where they're going to get your wheels off the truck and tell you you need shocks and brakes and struts and calipers and all that.
The only gripe i have about Discount is that they charge a guy for tire pressure sensor overhaul kits when they replace tires. Not really sure what that is.

There is a www.discountiredirect.com that is the online version of Discount Tire. Not sure how they don't charge sales tax. I just put some tires in my cart just to try it out and sure enough, no sales tax.

I purchase my tires from Titus WIll, the wife gets hers @ Discount Tire. I always end up w/a better deal than she does because I watch my money better than she does and I have a great service advisor @ Titus Will who I have been with for over fifteen years. BUT, Discount is a great outfit too. My dad was the co-founder of a little Montana company Tire-Rama http://billingsgazette.com/business/montana-s-tire-king/article_7cc40fdd-02b3-56d4-ab30-90e53d33c3d8.html, he has nothing but good to say about Discount.
And that is an old article, Tire-Rama has expanded beyond Montana. Quite a ways beyond Montana.

The brick and mortar store will honor the DiscountTireDirect.com price of it is lower.
One thing to keep in mind on their replacement ceriificate is that it will replace the one tire, so if all your orther tires are low on tread, you still have to buy the other three, assuming you don't want to run different diameters on your 4WD. So, I'm not sure it makes sense to buy all 4 certificates. I never have.

Buying my last truck from evergreen was pretty smooth, I'm from tri cities, and was driving home that night, only reason I didn't buy tires from em too.
Robert cann was my salesman, pretty laid back guy,probably buy my next rig from him too.

The first pair I bought from them were 17" Falkens A/Ts with a 50k warranty. I was pretty disappointed in their performance. I bought the KO2s to replace them from Discount and they not only matched the best online price, they gave me a credit for the unused portion of the Falkens warranty, knocking off another $110 and change.
Post by: syoungs on December 12, 2017, 10:52:22 AM
Picked up a set of fallen wild peak at3/w in 305/65r18 for 860$ today through tirebuyer.com. I really wanted the Cooper St Maxx this time, but they were almost 100$ a tire more expensive and didn't come with a warrannty. Never ran anything besides Toyo or Cooper's, hopefully I like the falkens!
now that ive got some mileage on these falkens, I wanted to report back for anyone reading this in the future.
close to 6k miles so far on them. including a trip to Wyoming, and I love them. probably one of my favorite tires I have ran so far. the grip is tremendous on most all surfaces ive been in, with the exception of deep mud, I don't fault the tire for that. it is an AT afterall. they are quite on the hiway and very predictable, very tough on crap dirt/gravel roads, handle rain/water very well, and the small amount of ice/snow they have seen left me impressed. If these last (which they should if they continue to wear like they are now), they will be my go to tire from here on out.

I loved these tires, probably the best I've ever used. I bought them a few weeks before I did my WY deer hunt around Cody. I used them in the sunlight basin on rocky and rutted roads and around Cody in nearly a foot of snow and compact ice and they performed awesome. At $158 a tire , a real steal and much better than my Yokohama geolanders.
I have about 5,000 miles on them but will take them off ASAP when the bird hunting is over and if I don't go skiing. I'll use my P rated goodyear that came with the truck.
Real happy so far.

I also bought the Falken a/t 3 from discount tire and they said they would meet any internet price. After reading this I wish I knew about about discount tire direct and paid no sale tax on them, but OH WELL. No rebates at the time I bought them but they matched the lowest internet price I found.This is when an extra set of stock wheels come in real handy. 2c

Well didn't think about buying tires online until I was told the tires I wanted today would run 2100 plus tax and etc.
So checked out discount tire. Seems like some great prices. Have you used them? I would love feedback.
Also a couple brands I have never run. I was hoping for some feedback on them.
Cooper and Falken. Both there a/t 3 designs. Both have 50k plus warrentys on them.
I would for sure buy the replacement plan they offer, if I bought them.
Thanks for any feedback.
I've bought tires online from Discount. All I can say is great service. I guess you can actually take your sales slip to a local store and they will mount and balance for free. Also, you don't pay sales tax = their problem, not yours.

I did Wal-Mart for my last set of tires on my truck, ship to store is free to and with tires often quicker. They will pull stock from other stores if they have them, homec shipping is always from a warehouse and then you got to load and haul it in. Got my tires next day came from two different stores.Check walmart (unless you don't like walmart) but I price compared locally and on-line and they were cheaper by a couple hundred bucks (yes, evendors compared to discount tire). I was comparing the cooper stt pros size 170/70-17.
I did take a look they were pretty close just a little more at walmart.
Looks like they have one of the sets of wheels I was looking at to. So if I am reading things right they will mount and balance for free. If I buy wheels and tires at the same time and ship to my house for free.
