Exactly. Otoh, DT/AT b&m stores can order tires (if not in stock) for installation at your local store. Done it few times that way at different stores.Their online arm sells direct to consumers with home delivery. Www.discounttiredirect.com

I don’t like Discount Tire because they won’t ship to home whereas Tire Rack will I hope they won’t be changing that. At least if they do I can’t find out how to do it. And we aren’t allowed to have anything shipped to my work unless it’s ordered by the dealership so I’d be out of luck there.
According to the DT/AT store listing linked, they have 'zero' stores in NY State. Same for rest of the NE excepting one store in western Pa. And, DT/AT don't do vehicle inspections, currently tire sales and service only. You must be confusing them with some other tire store chain. Mega Lo Mart Tire perhaps.

Schoharie limousine crash - Wikipedia

Mavis Discount Tire was the firm that inspected the limo. Pretty sure they’re related in no way to Discount Tire.
The Mavis on Central Ave (just up from Lark, not the one across from Armory Jeep) is the one that tried to rip me off for a battery. Never go there, I've had great luck with the pepboys over by Gateway Diner though, that's usually where I go for tire mounting/rotations/etc. They're always great.I got "Mavis Discount tire" Confused with "Discount Tire". Shows you how much attention I gave the store when I passed it on State Street / Central Ave.
And yes, Mavis is super fuc$ed.
Going to DT is like punishment. So I stick to Costco. I guess few times I bought tires from TR won’t happen again. Too bad, they had good selection of tires for track.
Very true. Fwiw, I've read of negative experiences at costco on this sub forum several times......Its like any chain.. there might be good and bad costco tire depts too....
Yeah, agree.I just recently bought a set of tires from Discount Tire Direct because they had the best prices of any place I shopped. They offered a 10% military discount and that put them at the top of the price list.
Out of curiosity I checked prices at my local Sam's club and I was surprised to see that Sam's was only $2 more per tire. I will buy my tires from Sam's from now on. I don't have to wait for delivery or worry about them being damaged in shipping. Sam's can order just about anything I'd want and their prices are good.

In a lot of respects, this is a match made in heaven.
Tire Rack is a 100% mailorder place where Discount Tire is nearly 100% a store based retailer. Not only would there be warehouses closer together, making more products available at the retail level, but the shipping distances would be shorter.
Tire Rack's shortcoming is that the customer has to find a place to get the tires mounted. Yes, they had some local joints that would come out and mount tires at your house, but those places had limitations.
Put together, Tire Rack would now have a dedicated place where tires could be sent and mounted, The only hiccup is where there aren't Discount stores in the area - and in that case, things don't change at all!
DTD is a run as a totally separate "sister company"DTD definitely ships to home. I've ordered tires from them and they shipped to home with no problems. However, there are no DT stores anywhere nearby since they're afraid of the northeast
So DTD is a negligible amount of DT's business?
I see same people in Costco working for years. They retain workers much better as they offer much more.Going to USA is like punishment..
Oh wait maybe they arent all the same.. hmmm... might apply to DT too.
Its like any chain.. there might be good and bad costco tire depts too....
Not sure why it’s representative of the whole company being trash just because one idiot passed an inspectionI wouldn't even let them put air in my tires. They have a reputation that's worse than Monroe. No discount on their tires, same as tirerack now. And I'm betting now both sites prices will be raised, because now they can.
AND:
Discount Tire is involved in a massive lawsuit here in NY. They inspected a vehicle and passed it, but they just slapped a sticker on it.
Limo crashed because it was in total disrepair, and 20 people died as a result. They are going to pay millions for those suits from families of the victims.
Oh, ok... Would you have your car serviced there? Even having them put on your tires? Brakes?Not sure why it’s representative of the whole company being trash just because one idiot passed an inspection
Every set of tires I and my entire family has ever put on their cars is at Discount Tire. That won't change.Oh, ok... Would you have your car serviced there? Even having them put on your tires? Brakes?
