Bought 4 tires all failed. Tire choice replaced all 4 under warr. All 4 failed again 2 on one trip. Tread separation,as I found out today that they have dropped that brand. Also they replaced all 4 tires at no cost. Tire choice is under new ownership,maybe new owners with some integrity. Dropping the brand is a step in the right direction. I believe the new mgr played a role in final decision.

I always use Barnett Tire in Leesburg. Small family business that has been there a long time. It seems more than not our only choices are the "big" guys. Nothing wrong with that for certain reasons such as price and convenience. I find more often than not that the small independent that has been in business for along time is often there for a reason, and that usually relates to a fair price and superior service, service, service.

TOTV has this well documented and anybody doing business should do so with caution.
I cannot understand that considering the reputation of Tire Choice, that anyone would enter their businness.

Another thing to realize is that when you step up to a counter at Tire Choice the person there is not your friend and he's looking out for whats best for their business. Check out tirerack.com or call 888 541 1777 for expert advice on your needs for tires. They will even sell you the tires you need for your car and have them shipped to Tire Choice for you to have them mounted for you at prices listed on their site. A lot rides on your tires to trust to this bandits. And you'll save money also.

Another vote here for Tirerack.com. Their website is super easy to use & I saved several hundred dollars on tires for my Corvette, even after paying the shipping charges. They will ship direct to the tire store of your choice for installation, so it's not like you're going to have to somehow transport four tires from your home to have them mounted. I used to think that tire stores would frown on anybody buying their tires somewhere else, but they really don't care. The store that I've used for years didn't seem to mind at all, and even commented that I got a great deal.

I too buy my tires from Walmart (online) as well as Road hazard warranty and have them shipped to store. That way I can tell what milage to expect, what warranty will cost and know exactly before setting date to have tires installed......as well as.....there's a lot more Walmarts than there are "other" stores...in case I need warranty work

Never had a problem in the 18 years I've been buying tires!
