I try to do business with mom and pop shops as much as possible. All the local mom and pop tire shops have been bought out over the years and become trash.

I went back to DT after a 20+ year hiatus and found their service, pricing, and willingness to work with me delightful.

For example my car uses a very specific tire and I got a flat on the side wall. They just happened to keep a set from a previous driver in near new condition to replace that one tire for labor only until the very specific tire could be brought in 3 weeks later!

Then they discounted the original labor off the new tire purchase price.

My only beef with discount tire is their anti-weed policy for their employees.

When it's time to replace I usually go with Walmart. I buy whatever tire is on rollback online, ship to atore, and they put it on. Their autocenter has the cheapest rate for putting on tires.

Last time I paid $45 a tire and $11 for installation.

Yes it's Walmart, but I'm broke and this is like $100 cheaper than the next option

Last time I needed multiple tires, they wanted about $150 note fir the tires, and wanted to charge $35 per tire changed.

I went elsewhere with slightly cheaper tires and the change was included in the service.

I had a bad experience in Phoenix, the tires fell apart after 8 months. Otherwise though, they've always been great and very accommodating. I go to Costco now but they're the same or better imo.

I've always had good customer service with Discount Tire Company.

When I lived in NJ for a couple of years, the nearest Discount was in Ohio. I strongly considered the drive.
