Where do you buy tires?

Actual tire places sometimes will cut deals with you. Go with an idea of what price you want to spend.

We get all of our tires online but most of our vehicles past and present had special tires.

Bought my last set at Costco.

I've used this site to get an idea on prices and performance.

Canadian Tire or for Dave's car online (which we shipped to my aunt & uncle in NJ, and had my mom bring back for us to save on shipping, it was quite the orchestration).

BUT, the tire was less than 1/2 of what we would have paid in Canada, and he only needed to replace one so he needed it to match the rest of the set that was on his car.

Costco or NTB

Shop around and look online for reviews. You can find most of the pricing info you need online as well.

I would ask coworkers and friends for recommendations in your area. We go to a locally owned business and they provide such better service than the new national business that is in town. If you can order the tires online, a small business could install them. Or they may have competitive prices for you, especially if they are trying to generate new business!

If you find a common brand at a price you like on tirerack, you can call local places and ask if they will price-match.

Some won't price-match online places, but some will. Worth trying if you're on a tight timeline and maybe the tires from online wouldn't arrive in time.

I've always gone to Discount Tire. They're really nice and have reasonable prices. Also, I appreciate that they have lots of locations, so if I have a problem, I'm usually near one.

local tire store, they will fix flats and rotate the tires for free.

Have a local place match tirerack.com's prices (we use discount tire). Pep boys and others will do it too.
