Many people have considered various other alternatives to rebates but none of them are as effective. For instance, retreads will allow one to pay much more reduced costs, but they also will put the owner at a much higher risk when he or she drives on the road. Having unknown or no-name brands is not a good solution either uness they have already been extensively tested by a reliable safety standards organization.
The final options would be to hunt around for discounted offers, but in fact these are extremely rare and low in supply. As such, it is very unlikely that there would be a suitable offer at the time one is scouting around for a particular set of tires. The same goes for discount coupons, as in that there will most likely not be one acceptable for use at around the time of one’s intended purchase.
On the other hand, new tires with quality brand names with rebates are often able to come at surprisingly reduced prices, which in fact puts some money back in one’s pocket. More often than not, these rebates may be found on the website of the retailer from whom one will be obtaining the product from. As such, they will most probably be more frequently featured and of a much greater value than many other discounted offers on the market.
In fact, United states government has also recently come up with a new standardized rebate system for tires to help customers get rebates from other vehicle-related products as well.
When one first enters a shop and requests for a brand new set of tires, for instance at $400 per tire, which adds up to $2000 for a set of four wheels and an additional spare one, one will be offered a bonus rebate on the tires. This is often advertised in the form of an opening special. As a customer, you may expect to receive at least $80 worth of rebates on the tires themselves when the new set has either been worn down and needs to be replaced once more.
Needless to say, the above perk is only provided if one purchases the same brand of tires from the same retailer after the current one’s have been worn out. Such offers are also not solely exclusive to cars, they also apply to other types of automotive vehicle such as lorries, trucks and even buses.
There are a whole lot of benefits then may be gained from these schemes. By understanding everything to know about Tire Rebates, one will be able to make better choices in the long run.
I want to buy some tires for my van? My Dad went to check on prices at three different discount stores and?
went to Good Year to see if they would match the other prices. They told my Dad who doesn’t know much about cars that they can’t cuz they are so cheap. The reason why they(other discount stores) are so cheap cuz they get the tires from warehouses all over and most of the tires are out dated and don’t last long. Now, is it true does tires have dates on them and if so what year should I avoid?

You might want to try another place, like America’s Tire Company or Costco Tire Center. In my experience buying Goodyear branded tires (or others owned by Goodyear) tends to cost a bit more ($20-$40) at a Goodyear tire center than at a third party store like America’s Tire or Costco.
As for the tires at other stores not lasting long or being outdated, I don’t believe that, they just want you to buy from them. As long as you’re buying a quality brand tire you’re going to be fine. If a tire is sitting on a vehicle that’s not being used then I can understand that you might not want to trust those tire because they suffer from tire rot due to weather and constant stress/pressure on a single side. But in a tire warehouse (like Tire Rack) the tires are kept indoors and they aren’t subjected to the stresses of a 1200lb car daily, so I think they’d last really nicely in a warehouse.
And if tires can’t hold up to being stored in a warehouse for 2 months, how much more will they hold up when you’re driving on them every day in possibly extreme weather conditions?lol
Just stick to reputable brands like BFGoodrich, Michelin, GoodYear, Cooper, etc and you’ll be fine. Also a benefit of going to a place like America’s Tire, Wal-Mart, or Costco is that those stores are very common around the US so you’ll always be able to have your tires serviced for free.
