You're talking about these guys: http://www.discounttire.com


We used to use their retail outlets all the time back in the day before there was the interwebs, no complaints.

Yes, i bought one of my hankooks there (after 2 other ones went to shit on me), because they have a life time warranty on the tire. If something happens, ship the tire to them, they send a new one.

It took me a few days to get the tire, its a good site to buy from

I bought my rims and tires from them. They are a good company they just process orders in a crazy way. You order your wheels, they call you in 24-72 hours verify that they have everything and that you are satisfied with the selection and then authorize the charges and send out your tires. The whole process took about two weeks to get my rims and tires at my doorstep.

i never got a call or email. number still disconected but i got my tires still so im happy. just took double the time they claim. too much psi can make a ride more rough right? anyone know the factory recoomended psi on our aleros? v6 if that matters.

please tell me the door sticker can be wrong? pick a website any website that sells tires, pick a local shop any tire shop, even better pick a gm dealer any gm dealer. they all have one thing in common, 2004 olds alero tire size, 215 60 r15. all of them. thats the size i bought and had put on today. im drivng thinking man why is this driving so wierd. did i get a bad tire, mounted balanced wrong. so i checked them both were fine. checked my tire pressure fine. as i look at my door for reccomended pressure i discover this, tire 205 65 r15. wtf is that about. how can every single website shop and gm dealer be wrong? what is my car some random freak of nature designed for different size tires?

I went in to get the rims/tires for my Alero and the guy said he had to order them and it would take a couple of days. He found them at another store and had them ready for me the next day. I went by after I got off work and he had them installed on my car in like 30 minutes after I pulled into their parking lot. Also, they will do flat repair at any of their stores nation wide. You can't beat Discount Tire, IMHO

Oh,and they'll price match too
