text: Review Woo Hoo Let us bring out some starsnnThis Discount Tire went out of their way to help me get some new shoes for my Eva the Honda Prelude Si that sits in my garage Ode to a classic nnAnyway I was picky even wanting to get tires for my girl The Pirellis she had on her were classic too so classic that they were made in Yep the tires I bought with the car were close to years old I hated to even consider changing them out because they had little wear tread life and no signs of cracking But even the best tires should be considered for change after years time for safetys sake Who wants to risk a blowout while cruisin Not mennI considered Sams Club and Costco first for a new set of tires Sams was out of the running quickly because they did not even offer the right size for my rims Finding a inch tire is hard nowadays Off it was to Costco After a quick search Costco came out of the gates with ONE set of tires from Michelin The famed Michelin Defender their newest highend tire I figured it would cost me a pretty penny since they were top of the line And I was right A darn inch tire would cost me EACH after mounting install tax and fees About for a set of four Wow that is expensive Especially for a car that I will be driving no more than miles a year darn right Eva has a classic vehicle platennI told Costco I would think about it I have heard horror stories about their tire department service from others and the amount of waiting time needed just to put tires on a car After the price quote I was told by Costco that if I dropped my car off at the first signs of opening it would take about hours for it to get done If there was someone who managed to get in front of me before my appointment it would take hours Really Now I am no mechanic but I do know it should not take that long to put a tire on a car especially when you have specific equipment to handle thisnnAs a giggles experiment I called Discount Tire I was greeted with a warm tone and began to speak what I needed Though I would be up Shis Creek when it came down to price because Costco is the supposed price leader What happened surprised me Not only did I see they had the Michelin Defender tire that Costco had they also had other companies that made tires for my car rim These were also cheaper than the Michelin ones But dude on the phone informed me that they are cheaper because they were rated for less miles than the Michelin ones The Michelin Defender tires are rated at k miles which means I would not have to change the tires for a LONG time with my light driving on Eva He also mentioned the Michelin tires have a better review rating as wellnnOther tires were out Michelin was IN But now it came down to brass tacks Got the quote from Discount Tire and it was much higher than Costco like higher for the set of four Told the guy on the phone that I would probably hit Costco instead because of the price difference He asked me how much they were charging me A pause and a few keyboard strokes later and dude from Discount Tire pricematched it Then he came down to with tax just to make the number more rounded Told Discount Tire guy when can we schedule and I was in that next Saturday early nnUpon arriving I was greeted then asked to assist with mileage on the car Discount Tire was like Nice ride So clean This really an I will make sure on the order to tell the guys to be careful with the car Then he marked the order in red all over classic Before paying of course I was going to be upsold I was prepared to say NO Was offered their lifetime warranty for on EACH tire I was like Nah I will not do it unless the total for me is less than out the door Discount Tire dude was like Hmm Let me see A few button clicks later he tells me he can do xx out the door I was on the fence He tells me that the lifetime warranty covers EVERYTHING on each tire defects warping cracking nails even if it is my fault For the life of the tire Dammit I signed up Comes out to less than per tire for warrantynnTidied up the bill and sat and watched every move those tire techs did on my baby They really were careful took off the rims and center caps gingerly and went slow with removing my old tires Even then the entire job was done in only minutes No more waiting Great friendly fast efficient and reasonable service Tires were shined and Eva was pulled out slowly to the parking lot All new shoes on her So pretty nnI will be back to Discount Tire for my tire needs for now Pricematching and service for me cannot be beat My Eva and I thank you Love that new tire smell
