Customer Reviews
These tires are good. I'm very happy with them and I eventually will buy more once these ones wear out. They ride quiet and go over bumps with no problems or rattling. I wish you guys lived up to your name and actually offer discounts. I own four cars and I only have two cars covered by you guys( tires and warranty wise) I need to buy tires for at lest the third car ( possibly the fourth one too) I want to go with you guys, but, the prices are killing me. I know I buy the economic brands (house brands) but its getting pricey. Do you guys offer a club member price? Not just on the more expensive brands but the house brands too?
