Customer Reviews
The tires seem fine; I'm not the best judge. I really just wanted to compliment Discount Tire -- they are really great. Friendly service, helpful, fast, just overall fantastic. I've very much appreciated their help with flats and and checking tire pressure, etc., and of course I buy all my tires there.
