Yep^^

Hmm I paid $280 for the set of 4 from tire rack, shipped. How much did you pay discount tire?

irondiezl3 · 02-03-2009, 10:46 AM

For the tire I want tirerack is $366 discount tire is $266 but its obviousley a scam so I should have paid the 100 extra. although I found 3 other companies cheaper than tirerack. At this point again i'd pay the extra for peace of mind look at my position now :/

CactusWill · 02-03-2009, 10:57 AM

I dunno man, for the exact same size as what you're buying, 280 is what I paid total from tirerack, and I got a $50 rebate too so I really only paid 230. Are you sure you added it up right?

Anyways, I'd be watching your card account closely, if you think you got scammed then you should watch for any unusual activity on your card account.

they screw you?

irondiezl3 · 02-03-2009, 11:29 AM

Im not talking about the falkens I think thats where the mixup on price beteen us is? or maybe it's the different areas where shipping is concerned? yea so far they did. If you call there number its a busy signal been that way since sunday cant even count how many times ive called them. i tried emailing no response. the charge is n my account but i cannot do anything about it until a week thats my cards policy. wow make sure noone buys from them!!

CactusWill · 02-03-2009, 11:37 AM

Yeah dude you made a boneheaded move, given that we already gave you all the info on what to buy and from where. But now that its done, I guess you have no choice than to wait it out and go from there.

irondiezl3 · 02-03-2009, 11:48 AM

wow the story gets better. so im talking with tirerack about getting these tires. i explaine what happened and how i chose the discount site because they were so much cheaper right. well literally at the same time i update my web browser and what do i get boom a tracking number and not only that but they were shipped yesterday wow. still though there number is off the hook and they dont respond to emails. that's still nuts. i was literally about to order them from tire rack that was so close.

CactusWill · 02-03-2009, 12:19 PM

So what tires exactly did you get?

irondiezl3 · 02-03-2009, 12:29 PM

lol after all said and done i got the altimax hp. best part is tirerack offered me a lower price after pricematching. son of a b. next time im calling around to get the lowest pricematch.

kwhauck · 02-03-2009, 12:29 PM

i like tirerack because they are always there, ship super fast, I have always delt with the same guy for over 3 years, and they are way cheaper than anything locally.....

CactusWill · 02-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Yeah, tirerack is best. But oh well, at least you got what you needed.

irondiezl3 · 02-03-2009, 02:54 PM

i got what i needed and learned a lesson sometimes its worth it to pay a little more.
