How much would the dealer charge to do this job?

Walmart - Armstrong Tru-Trac HT Highway 235/75R15 109H XL Light Truck Tire...

With that small of a difference I would put new on front. If they only had 5/32 I would change my mind.

Walmart has GT Radials on sale for $82 get a total price then go to Discount Tire on line and click on found it lower. You get the cheaper tire price and also save on the installation.

These close out deals look like a good reason to use TR.

I know DT bought TR - they are still operated as separate companies as far as I can tell. What advantage did you get buying from TR and having DT install them? Could you just go straight to DT?

My son in law took his vehicle into Take 5 for an oil change. He discovered a puddle of oil under the vehicle and a check engine light came on. I checked it out for him thinking it was a leaking drain plug or filter. It was both. Drain plug was loose - the filter was over tight causing...

I am 100% Discount Tire - they are close to my home, the treat me like a customer and they will beat any price I have found someplace else -including Sam's Club, Walmart & NTB. I just had the Goodyear tires I bought in September rotated. They DT guy was nice and friendly - treated me like...

I think it was my 1999 Silverado Z71 4x4 - it took 6 quarts of 5w30. The dealership had a 10 free oil changes with purchase - but they used 10w30 in the drum. The service guy said he had AC Delco in quarts in 5w30 and used that for the first few changes. Then the service manager said NO MORE...

The cheapest one -----

I needed a spare because mine was almost 19 years old. I found a brand on Walmart that DT also carried or so their web site said. GT Radial Adventuro HT - it was super cheap and install is only $13, total was $99. I did the DT price match through found it lower. They beat it down to $95...

Use their online "found it lower" button. I just grab the price off Sam's or Walmart's web site. Going into the store is not required. I have never had the online system not give me a better deal. Added bonus - if DT has a mail in rebate they still beat the price and then you send in the...

If buying tires and wheels do they mount and balance them?

DT will price match Walmart - no reason to buy a name brand tire from Walmart because DT most likely also carries it. I will get the low Walmart price - but the DT will install them for $5-$15 less than WM.

Why not get the best price and then have Discount Tire (if you have a local one) price match it. I have done this 3X in the last couple years with great results.
