DING! DING! WINNER WINNER -> CHICKEN DINNER

with a front wear factor of somewhere between 3 and 5 times the rear tire tread wear, you change 2 instead of 4 . . .

CAN"T be done on an ALL WHEEL vehicle though

Since 16 or 17 I have never worn out set of tires, I rotate them myself. Tires get dry rotted and when over 6 years old blowouts become liability.

That's not good, but 2 weeks to wait for a rotation is not going to hurt anyone.

The last tires we bought were Walmart include tire rotation and road hazard. Where isn't there a Walmart tires are covered nation wide for free rotation and road hazard.

Only two choices! Sumter Tire in Wildwood, or Sam’s Club. AVOID all franchise stores like Tire Choice, Tire King and others. They all all upsell tactics for services you probably don’t really need.

Costco. They have an excellent hazard policy also. All they do is tires and they do a great job.

Sam's Club I got tires that were around $75 each. When I drove over a nail that punctured right near the seam of a tire a week later, they replaced it while I shopped (for free).

Thumbs down Where to buy tires

Tire Choice should be called "Last Choice."

I never said they did. Simply pointed out that I rotate tires around the time I change my oil.

You can also buy installation from a local shop through Tire Rack. They are great to deal with, UPS lost my tires in Leesburg, Tire Rack replaced them in one day and shipping is free
