    Thumbs up We use Discount Tire for track and street rubber!

    I made a good contact at the new Discount Tire in Cedar Hill off Hwy 67 and Beltline Rd. They are 5 mintues from my shop. The managers name is Bruce and he is going to stock one set of 555's and pair of DR's at his store. His prices are 10-20 bucks cheaper per tire than any other store. Nitto 555's 295/45/18's and DR's305.45.18's for the L. The prices I have worked out for TALON members is $195 for the Nitto 555's or Toyo Proxes, $230 for Nitto Drag Radials. That includes mounting and lifetime balance. I reccomend you to use them for all of your tire needs. Bruce works very hard to give us the lowest price you will find on anything you need.
    Phone is 972-291-3939.

    One of my Corvette cusotmers lives in DeSoto and said he would rather use his local Discount to mount a new set of wheels he bought. I told him to try this store and he did. Now he was so impressed by the service and prices he brought his wife's Trailblazer in for new rubber. The store is at I-20 and Great Southwest Pkwy. by the new Wal-Mart and Schlotsky's. Their phone# is 972.602.3385 and talk to Brooks. Let them know you are a PR customer and he will take care of you
    Terry, cant thank you enough for taking care of us like this..

    Thanks

    Thanks, Those are my direct wholesale prices I pay for tires. I don't get a penny off of your purchases with them. I just appreciate the way they do business at that location and pass it on. The wholsale cost on the tires from Discount Direct warehouse is 177 and 213 so you can see there isn't much mark up in there for labor etc. Basically 13 bucks a tire. Those tires retail for 219 and 253 regularly.

    Thumbs up

    I just spoke with Brooks at Discount Tire and I'm getting 4 Toyo Proxes for $189 each incl. mount/bal. etc. to be delivered Mon/Tue.

    Originally, he quoted me $200 per, but I told him about this http://www.treadepot.com/tireswheels...ers/index.html , so he came down to $189.

    Thanks for the hookup, Terry!

    There is always someone cheaper but rarely better TireRack won't help you when you damage a tire on the road. There are Discount Tire locations coast to coast. I always give Brooks a little lunch money for making a good deal happen. He usually throws in metal valve stems, tape balance whatever it takes to get it done right

    I appreciate you guys using Brooks! Your volume keeps our prices lower. Rob and I have probably accounted for a lot of those sales personally . Anyway, I appreciate it and remember he can do tires for regular cars as well. He hooked up Adam's Mustang, my dad's Z-71, brother's Chevy 1500. What I like is there Nationwide coverage. It is like buying something at a Walmart

This is still the location for my high end wheel work I understand others like local spots. We'll just have to agree that Discount Tire in general is the place to buy.

    Yep, I got new Hankooks from the Tyler store......
