    Not sure if it matters but I’ve heard in the past guys say some States are cheaper than others. Probably a tax thing?

    I have a national account and wondering if it matters where I buy my tires such as any particular State or Truckstop or Tire shop?

    When I was at Landstar I would get my tires in Oregon or Ohio. Both states had no sales tax on tires. I was using Landstar national account. So we got the tires for the same price no matter were we buy them. That was 6 years ago so the tax law could have changed by now

    About the same in Arkansas. If you've got a national account it should be the same everywhere.
