And, I did not even have to prepay for them. I presume it is because I am in their system since I have bought lots of tires from them over the years.
Seriously, Discount Tire will come WAY down on most any of their tire prices if you press hard enough. I used to get pricing battles going between them and NTB over the phone. |
Suckers. My local store has been doing $540/set for me for the last 3 sets.
That's including mount/balance. |
yeah thats what i did last time. discount tire matched onlinetires.com + free shipping. but he made me get them heat cycled but still came out cheaper than onlines tires price. plus we get free mount and balance at a local shop.
the trick at discount is to find someone into cars or into you :giggle: and always go back to the same person. they'll always give you better service :jerkit: lol, and cut you deals, etc.... that's what i did when i was a manager at one. the deals, not the hand job part. |
And I was hoping so much for a hand job for a second there :makeout:
Well, Discount Tire just called with some news. They already have the tires at the store. One day delivery, without one-day delivery costs. How sweet is that? |

Heheee. Actually that gives me an excuse. I could have run 10 seconds faster, but since I forgot the backup tires, I wanted to be sure I got through the weekend so I backed off. Plus Hustler has a fragile ego so I did not want to crush him.
I did pick them up today, $544 with tax as quoted. Four NT-01s will fit in the back seat of an M3. |

We get ~10 days out of a set on the rental car - my black car will gnaw through a set in ~5-6 days. The black car also wears the rears faster due to wheelspin.(no joke. laying stripes in 3rd and 4th on corner exit appears to contribute to accelerated tire wear :giggle:) |
I was putting down 1:41s at Road Atlanta this past weekend on my year old NTO1s that have 16 track days on them - still great with new BBK. I'll always be on NTO1s unless I really need to become competitive, then it'll be Hoosiers...
Then again, I ain't as baller as Sav either... |

That's including mount/balance. Apparently I don't know how to give a proper handy as my local Discount Tire quoted me $650 after showing them online tires price of $489. Nice price match guys...:jerkit: |
