I hate shopping for tires. Hate it. And for good reason. With bad experiences with both NTB and Just Tires, and being a chick, to boot, it's just not a fun experience. So, when our Silverado needed tires, I cringed at the thought of dealing with it. And, I'm not sure how this duty got delegated to me in the first place. Isn't this a guy job?
Sears has been on the "do not shop here" list in the past for other offenses. So, they weren't at the top of my list for tire shopping. After looking around, I decided that I'd go to the Goodyear tire place. You can almost not go wrong with Goodyear tires, and I'd rather pay a little more there than take my business back to one of the above listed tire retailers.
On a whim, I checked sears.com for tire prices on Goodyear Wrangler tires. Skimming through 48 tires that fit my truck, suddenly I heard the angels singing, and the lights shining from the heavens. There they were. Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires, for $132 each (plus installation). Marked down from $179 each. Yes, that's a $47 PER TIRE savings.
I got on the phone with the Sears Auto Center in the Concord Mall,, to make sure they had these bargains in stock. Lo and behold they did, and they were even cheaper than the web price listed...just under $129 each (hey,$3 is $3, right?). SCORE! I reserved the tires and headed on my way.
The service staff were awesome, and treated me great. The mechanics were very professional. The job was done, including oil change and front end alignment, in the estimated 2 hours. I couldn't ask for anything more. I will take my truck back to them for service in the future, and will buy our next set of tires there, whether it's for the truck, or our Camry.
Until next time...
