Discount Tire is pretty good. Definitely seem to have the best prices. Not sure if I trust them to do full alignment on cambered wheels though.

Don't abuse it folks, I don't want my freebies yanked.

How do you abuse free tire repair? Drive over caltrops weekly just for the hell of it?

when I went to them they didn't have the equipment to do an alignment. you had to go elsewhere.

This. Discount Tire doesn't do alignments.

discount tires is only good for the first 5000 miles of your tires after that there are so many conditions attached.
You can't repair the tire because the nail is on the edge.
You can't rotate the tire because its close to the bar line.
etc. etc. etc.
Always try to find a way to sell you a tire.

Yet mine fixed an older tire for free and re-balance all 4, free, and didn't even pitch me once for a new set and they don't have to, when it's time to buy they know where I'm going...

that is the nature of the business, but still you are exaggerating a bit..

I brought in a set of tires that I bought a warranty on. I had planned on just replacing them as they were worn out. guy asks about the mileage and says those failed prematurely, you will get full credit towards a new tire of your choice. walked out with a new set of tires, for basically the cost of the warranty (about 80 bucks)

discount has been good to me.

We had a new discount tire open here in town. They did a raffle for a set of Kumho tires worth up to $1000.

My mother in law won the raffle and my 2004 mustang gt is now sitting on the best rubber Kumho has to offer.

Yes, they're awesome. A few months ago I replaced all four tires on my wife's car and turned down the insurance. Well, about 2 weeks after I got them, she ran over a nail and the tire ran so low it destroyed the entire tire. I took it back to DT, and was ready to pay for a replacement tire (about $350). When I went up to the counter, since I bought the tires so recently, the guy offered to sell me the insurance for all 4 tires after the fact and cover my damaged tire, which was less than the cost of a single tire. I thought that was pretty awesome.

Definitely a big fan of DT. Highly recommended.

I <3 Discount Tire too. I bought all 4 of my tires for my truck there, at different times, over the past year and a half. I bought the replacement insurance, and it covers all 4, even though one of the tires has almost 10k miles on it.
