does anyone buy tires on line?

Bought some for my trailer,simpletire.com

 

You could. But I think you need a shop capable of accepting the tires for installation perhaps?

Ive looked into it myself. I think for me, it's hands on the tires Im putting on. Company or my money at the end of the day. I want to see them things first hand.

 

I bought some several years ago from rudolphtrucktire.com. Good price and good service

 

Did they deliver to your house WhoopNride?

 

Not worth it, buying online is not cheaper and then you gotta pay for shipping

 

I had them delivered to a friends shop.

 

So it's a SHOP. Ok. I'll keep that in mind.

 

That was my thoughts too. I think it's better to call local tire dealers within a 100 mile radius and look for the best deal. I had been buying tires from the same people about 60 miles away from me for about 5 or 6 years but was always a little at unease thinking they weren't really giving me the best price. I always had to go pick up tires from them. They would charge to deliver. So I found another place 90 miles away. Low and behold not only did they have the best price I could find anywhere but they also delivered 10 tires to me with ZERO $ extra charge for shipping. And I'm just a one truck guy who might buy a couple of tires a year, if that, most years.

 

I'd much rather deal with a local shop...where I know who I'm dealing with, and who to talk to if I have any issues with the product/service I bought. That goes beyond tires. I don't buy much on the internet unless I just can't find a good local source. Even if it does cost a few bucks more, it supports the local economy. Just like buying things made in the USA...even if it costs a few bucks more.

When all you are looking for is the lowest price, that comes with its own price...usually at the expense of quality of product or quality of service...or jobs.
