I had asked for new tires for my birthday.
Well, my husband thought I deserved more frivolous gifts.
Sure enough, my birthday came yesterday and along with it, a flat tire.
We are coming down to Jax tomorrow (I take my final test for early childhood teaching credential) and need to go tire shopping.
I did a search, and Riv mentioned Discount and Midas, and Karla mentioned Costco. Does anyone have anything to add to that?

Happy Happy birthday BWP !!!

I would call each of the places and compare the prices for the tires
and also the service time to install them

I have always found Discount Tire to have good prices and great service. They fixed a puncture for free before when my tires were past their "warranty" period. They also called Michelin and got a very large discount on a replacement for me once when a tire that I didn't even buy from them had a big bulge in the sidewall after hitting a pothole. You can check prices and read tire reviews on their website tires.com, even buy online, then drive to the store for an install.

Normally I'd suggest Costco if you're a member since you get free balance/rotate and nitrogen air.
But check with Sun Tire and Big Chief Tire too.

Thanks Riv.
I actually got my tires put on late yesterday afternoon (we shopped around Jax, but ended up purchasing up here in Fernandina.)
