welp, looks like new tires will be my Christmas this year
Dec 20, 2021, 7:55 PM
|

it's time (65K on them,getting bald), was trying to squeeze 6 more months out of them, but found a screw in sidewall of one today. Plus another has had a nuisance slow leak for awhile.
Held my breath as I began the new Hyper-Inflation Era shopping process. But I found a fantastic deal at a place, so pulled the trigger. Discount Tire had them $65 less (each) than anywhere else (even WallyWorld). Almost looks like a misprint error. So I jumped on that #### quick. That's $250 saved on 4. I'm in, appointment set.

Discount Tire is great. I've never used them.
Dec 20, 2021, 8:42 PM

But they were briefly a client of mine, and on one of the calls, someone on their team referred to another department as a bunch of "jabronis" and I knew I was working with good people.

TU to OT for making me look up 'Jabronis". I'll be casting that one about in casual conversation from now on.

They are 'Good-for-a-year' for a reason. You wont get anywhere near 65k out of them. Maybe 30k if you're lucky.

got 60K+ each on first two sets, wouldn't be buying again if displeased. Hopefully these will get me close to 200K on odometer and by then I'll be ready for another vehicle.

I got new air pressure sensors in the '12 4Runner. Only one
Dec 20, 2021, 10:06 PM
|
|
was bad, prolly, but bought 4. This year didn't specify air pressure per tire, just that one was low. I did have a slow leak in one wheel. Turned out there was nothing in the tire, just some corrosion on the aluminum rim where the tire mounted. Cleaned off corrosion, no leak. Just $90/per each for 4 new sensors. I'm running this vehicle up another 70K or more, until new design 4Runners are out for a year or two, then 2-3yr olds of the 2nd or 3rd yr are available used. Or whatever the best deal is at that time.

I forgot to mention that I used them a couple of years ago for the truck. Good job, quick and courteous, lots of places across the country if you need tire repair or warranty replacement.

Update from discount tire
Dec 21, 2021, 9:13 AM
|

20 minutes in and they are about done. Had 5 guys teaming up on the tire installation. Very efficient jumping from car to car. I'll be out the door in less than 30 minutes.
First experience here. Will come back.

Discount gives free patches even if you didn’t

Buy the tires from them, so unless you are wrecking the sidewalls with great frequency, it’s usually a losing bet.
