Gotta love Discount Tire!

I just have to express my satisfaction with Discount Tire Co. I bought my Enkei RS6's and Kumho tires from them and this summer has not been kind to them. In the past 2 months I got 2 flats and the latest was just today. I went to the Discount Tire across the street from where I work and got yet another $123 tire for just $24.....Gotta love it!

Can you not use that stuff mechanics use on regular tires to seal a whole?
like my mom gets flats pretty often and we dont have to buy new rubber, our mechanic puts in that worm or whatever its called...

maybe you cant do that with 17's coz of the low profile???

at discount tire.... you can buy warranties for your tire.. flat repair, blow outs, etc... take the tire in and if they cant fix it then you use your warranty and they will replace it for free.... except now you have to buy a new warranty for the new tire which costs only $25!!!!

so you can get a $150 for $25

wheeeeeeee......

If you go to that site and check the authorized dealers you will see discount tire on the list.

Maybe you failed to look at that. Just because it's not on their website doesn't mean they don't sell them.

aint that the damn truth. I seriously have to watch myself while driving down Bingle and Antoine road... if texans built roads half as good as they thought they did, my life would be alot easier.

You should try driving around here. There are so many homes being built, which means more nails in the street. My bro had 17 nails in his tire. Had more holes than a pack of condoms from Seven Eleven.

I got a set of 17" Centerline RPM's through Discount Tire but I returned them because they had been marred up in shipping. Decided to get 18's but they said it would be at least 2+ weeks out. Went to Les Schwab and had the 18's (in perfect condition) the next day!

Let me just say that Centerline RPM's are by far the best wheel investment one can be involved in. My 18x7 rims are only 14.5 lbs each! Other than some additional rolling resistance due to the width, my performance has not suffered! BTW, they're wrapped in 215/40/18 Yokohama Parada Spec 2's.
