Default Why buy from Tire Rack?

Yesterday at about 1:45 PM I called Jim to order a set of track tires and wheels. By the time our conversation ended, three minutes later, I'd received an e-mail order confirmation. At 5:20 PM I received a message that the order had shipped. (I chose the slowest, cheapest ground shipping.)

My order arrived at 3:00 PM today. Four tires and wheels, mounted and balanced, centering rings in place, lugnuts packaged with the paperwork.

This is about the 10th set of tires I've ordered from Tire Rack, and I think the sixth wheel set. I've had about the same experience every time. Thanks, Jim.

[Disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with Tire Rack, and I get no discounts. ]

Yeah, they're shipping is ridiculously quick. I ordered, and got my tires in 2 days with the slowest shipping option.

I have not ordered from them, yet, but I asked them to give me a quotation on shipping costs for three sets of tires (two sets for our Mazda CX-9 and one for the S) and they sent the quotation in less than a day. I also know that severa S owners in Dubai get the tires from Tirerack.

I will definitely order from them this fall when I have to make the purchase.

I buy from Tire Rack because:
1. They reliably have low prices
2. Super-easy to deal with
3. Quick shipping
4. It's well worth it to support them because they give actual objective comparitive performance test data on tires, which makes picking a tire make/model MUCH easier as you don't have to GUESS which is better for your wants/needs/usage.

ZDan is right on. Plus, Tire Rack has a warehouse 35 minutes from my house so I can go pick up my tires the same day I order them and not pay shipping. :-D

I ordered a set of winter tires for the S2000 a few weeks ago. Placed the order after lunch and selected UPS ground shipping. Tires arrived 24 hours later.
