Used it a few weeks ago for my wife's car and will be using it again tomorrow. She apparently thinks it's a sport to hit pot holes and low profile tires don't handle that well.

Don’t buy it anymore, since I started running Toyo AT. When I ran Goodyear Dura Trac I bought it and used it for at least 2 tires per set.

Got it on the wife’s car. Good thing I did. 3 days after putting that brand new set on, she got a puncture right in the corner of the tread. Not fixable.

I went in the air pressure check line with my truck. My rear outer was flat and they said if I had some time to spare they would fix it at NO CHARGE. Seriously? That was awesome and they earned my business for that courtesy.

Those any better than the E rated 10 ply Nitto terra grapplers with 65k warranty. Man those things last! About to put new shoes on the truck and I like the Toyo AT3’s

I cut through an abandoned store parking lot once and three of four tires went flat. Discount tires replaced all 4 so I would have a matching set.

I will not buy tires anywhere else.

Know people who swear by it. I don’t believe in it never paid for it never regretted it or had an instance I would have used it. I find that most places with road hazard just replace a tire for almost anything. I have a plug kit and a compressor. I’ve never had a blowout on a vehicle tire.

I’m over here in shock that this many people go to a place with such terrible customer service.

It’s like walking around Walmart asking some belligerent employee a question and get half an answer compared to walking into a normal grocery store and the employees smile and randomly ask you if they can help you with anything. You stick around the poor service long enough it seems normal.

Problem with discount is it’s best CS ever or worst..no in between.

Ordered set of tire for wife’s suburban, and I was about to call Regional manager and tell him to promote the kid. Best experience ever, then Monday I dropped a UTV tire off to get mounted And they forgot or lost my info to tell me it was ready..

Sure you didn't buy the rotation & balance for the life of the tires during purchase?

Or is that something they started offering for free?

I've taken new vehicles there within a few days of driving off the lot to purchase the rotation, balancing and road hazard. When I was often out of town and wife/daughter had a tire issue or needed rotation, I could count on DT to treat them fairly and honestly.

Yep rotate and balance will cost you $70 at DT.

Had my wife's factory tires rotated at DT yesterday for free. confused2



Yes, rotating is done for free no matter where you bought the tires. Balancing is not done for free, it’s $70. Also, with the road hazard I get free patches instead of free plugs. They will also take my tires off the rim, flip them and reinstall when I request them, which is usually about 30,000 miles. That’s normally $40 a tire.

You don’t keep a vehicle long enough to justify the expense. Do you have insurance on your vehicles? If so, why?

In my younger, financially leaner days I didn't get the road hazard to save money on tires. After a couple of incidents replacing one tire that was more than the road hazard for all four I decided to start getting it on my trucks and have ever since.

It more than paid for itself when i used to take my personal truck all over the state for work, and to the deer lease in Ballinger. Now, 95% of my travel is in a company truck and we no longer hunt out west. My regular travel doesn't take me near a discount tire anymore, and my local tire shop does free flat repair and lifetime rotate and balance. So long story short, i don't do Discount anymore just because it is not convenient but if you are near them regularly, it may be worth it.

Unless something has changed, it's far better than others who only give you a pro-rated amount if the tire needs replacement. At Discount, you get a free tire if ANY useful tread is left on the tire that cannot be fixed.

Stay far away from Firestone. They offered me just $10 on the last tire I took them that needed replacement.

I do have insurance on my vehicles...it's weird but it seems to be much easier for me to spend a couple hundred to replace a tire than it is 20k+ to replace a truck/Jeep wink

At my Discount you get lifetime rotation/balance/flat repair for free when you buy the tires, as well as the prorated road hazard. I would have assumed that was everywhere but who knows.

The upsell is the no questions asked road hazard with the full replacement. I haven't priced it in a while but it used to be the equivalent of buying a 5th tire. So you would have to destroy 2 of your 4 tires before it actually works out better for you, and that's not taking into account the prorated road hazard coverage that you could be using.

As with any extended warranty, the overall margins are enormous for the company. Most that pay for it never use it.

You mean the cost is included in the price of the tires.
