where to get tires changed?

[machinima xingone]

So I bought a suzuki sx4 and it really needs a tire changed asap, the only place I've gotten tires before was on junk yards but my bro that used to picked them for me is far away, so buying them new and installed by a tire store is my best bet... but which tire store has the best prices and service? I'm looking to get the full set plus balancing and alignment.

good point. uhhh, I second that recommendation.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Discount tire will price match discount tire direct.

I prefer the little mexican spots that sell used good tires

new...discount tire.
used...anywhere else.

I've had lots of trouble getting Discount Tire to install anything but brand new tires.
Really disappointed in that....

I'm only a walmart person when I have under $1k, right now I'm a mall person. So what is the difference between the 2 tire direct web sites?
discount tire

discount tire DIRECT

[Bob Kazamakis]

1 is cheaper and online. The other is a retail location.

Reputable shops do not like to install used tires... Some even have a policy not to install them. It is just a liability. If something is wrong with that used tire most idiot customers will hold that shop responsible no matter what.

Reputable? Bad choice of words in my opinion. I'd say chain shops don't, but some small shops that are still reputable will. Nothing wrong with a used tire. Some people even swap winter tires on and off the same rims each year. Nothing wrong with that and no reason why a tire shop shouldn't do that for a customer...

 

[SRT41320]

Used tires and swapping winter/summer tires are totally different

 

[EmersonHart13]

Why? To a tire shop they are not. They are used tires. They go on a rim the same whether they went on your rim or some other rim.

 

[SRT41320]

What if you bring in a ten year old tire with 4/32 left and it blows out the next day or a belt shifts? The customer will hold the shop responsible... Just better not to put yourself in that situation...

To be clear... I'm not talking about tires that have 3k miles on them that you got from a buddy... Just the ones you get from Pablo for $10 - because that's what people bring to my buddy's shop all the time and he refuses to do them... And I agree
