Tire purchase

[johngolf]

I believe in the one a$$ to kick philosophy. Meaning I buy new tires and have them balanced and mounted from a known place so if there is an issue, I can kick their a$$. I buy from a local, independent dealer who have been in business for years. If no local dealer I would consider a major name place like Costco, NTB, etc.

I would never buy from an Internet dealer and use someone local to balance and mount. Talk about finger pointing if an issue.

Never had one issue with discount tire the few times I did they made it right.

My prior car had a tire pressure display and the warning light came on. I took it to the local dealer who I had bought the tires from. Just gave them my name and they asked which vehicle (I had two). They said about a 1/2 hour wait. I said fine. 20 minutes later they said you are good to go. We added air and checked the pressure in all tires. I asked the cost. They said none. I recommend them to all my friends.

This is the type service I am willing to pay for.
