Discount Tire: $100 Rebate w/ Purchase Of Any 4 Tires/Wheels Installed or $200 Rebate w/ purchase of 4 Wheels and Tires Installed (10/19 and 10/20)

Quote from slausdog : Just called my local NorCal store and they confirmed that all NorCal locations will have the same $100 promo the following Friday and Saturday, 26th and 27th. They said its a special for Grand Openings for the Auburn, CA location and I believe he said Manteca, CA location. So all NorCal'ers just wait a week.

AWESOME! Thanks for the heads up. This actually works way better with my schedule.

Last time they had this deal did anyone get the $100 plus the $70 Michelin rebate? Thanks

Quote from SilverImpreza : What comes to mind is, you gotta pay to play. You bought giant wheels and want them on the car, 20" tires come as a premium. Tires are one of the few things in life I refuse to skimp out on. You, your family, your friends, anyone who you have ever give a ride to all rely on this rubber to do what it was intended to do. Tires are your only connection to the road. The greatest wheels, brakes, and suspension do jack squat if the tires don't do their job. To me, the risk of my car, my loved ones, and everyone around me on the road, is not worth saving $400-$500 every few years. A joke my friend once told me, never skimp out on rubbers. Good tires and good condoms may save your life.

This notion is highly over-exaggerated. Many brand name companies sell lots of absolutely worthless tires that aren't any safer than no-name junk. Many no-name companies sell great tires that surpass brand-name competitors in performance and quality. When buying tires you have to look into a particular model and read some reviews before buying.

Also driving style matter. If you drive in town mostly and rarely go over 30mph, you don't need supertires.

Until you've dealt with thousands of tires and have seen the build quality of the beads and sidewalls of cheapo tires, then it's hard for me to believe your statement. I've worked as a tech in the back, I've seen how flimsily some tires are built. Heck, I've even mounted tires as cheap as $14. There's a lot of research and science that goes into making tires. There's many things where no-name brands put out just as good quality, because their costs are lowered due to no advertising. You yourself said there is no-name junk. There's a higher risk of a bad tire from that junk. Is it worth the risk of a life?

However, I agree that driving style makes a difference. I push my tires and need them to not fail me, ever. I take care of my tires, and expect the same from them. If you've never been in a blow out, it's quite a dangerous situation. If you never/rarely go above 30 mph (an very small part of the population) then, I agree, tire quality is not as large of a factor. Still a blow out can easily damage your car in excess of $400. Majority of people who drive use freeways and drive in excess of 60 mph and drive faster than how you're describing your style. I don't want people to take your advice and put themselves in dangerous situations.

You sound like all no-name tires blow out all the time and brand tires never do. I've had problems (bubbles, flat spots) with Bridgestones, Continentals... If you're really think that if you pay $500/tire for some top end Michelin it will NEVER blow and you're 100% tire-safe because you paid so much the tire physically can't be defective, well then, what can I say... you're very naive.

For those that are considering this, it looks like only selected areas in SoCal are included. A quick check online shows that LA and Ventura counties dont get it. Riverside does. Hopefully this is not the case because the rebate form says "Southern California Discount/America’s Tire location".

says it is only good for southern california

Last night I saw $100 gift card in LA area, today it's only $30. Unbelievable!

Is this better than the usual costco deal? ( 70 dollars off a set of 4 tires )

@slausdog thanks! will wait next week for nocal promo.

Please read my post, this is starting to get petty. I never said anything close to "all no name tires blow out all the time and brand name tires never do." Honestly, if you can't have a quality discussion, then there's no point in me wasting my time. So, after this, I'm done explaining my point. I've warned other people that being frugal on tires isn't always the best course of action.

As I said before, I've worked at a tire shop. I've seen all brands can blow out, I've been scratched up pretty badly from having to dismount tires with tons of steel belts waiting to rip apart my skin. So no, I'm not saying a name on a tire will ensure no blow outs. If you think I'm saying otherwise, well.... I don't know how else to say this to you.

If you've had problems with more than 1 set of tires with sidewall bubbles and flat spots, that points me towards user error. Never checking inflation (or waiting for the TPS to tell you they're low), or poor maintenance of tires most likely lead to your problems. So, I agree, if you're having these problems, go right ahead with no name tires, as NO tire outside of maybe really expensive run flats, will save you from these problems.

Not once have I ever had any problems with any sets of my tires outside of slightly too much camber wear or tramlining. However, I take care of my tires because I know they're the difference between me going home safely and being in a dangerous wreck. If I spend an extra $400 ever few years, it's worth the extra few percentage points. You deem it not, that's where our difference is.


In case you still don't understand my point, here's a nice short and sweet version: My driving style requires solid sidewalls, rubber that doesn't overheat easily, and will allow my car to go over 30 mph safely. It's worth a few hundred dollars a year (less than 50 cents/day) to increase the chance that I get home safely.

I received my $100 rebate from DTD a couple of weeks ago for the Labor Day special they had. I also rec'd my $75 rebate from Cooper this week so the rebates are stackable and come fairly quick.

As far as brands go, I try to avoid the lesser known made in China tires for now until they build up more of a reputation. It wasn't too long ago that brands like Hancook and Kumho used to be no-names in the US market until they proved themselves in the marketplace.

im sad that its not nationwide. Will be waiting for the next sale. Need truck tires for 18s and they are not cheap.
