    I bought my tires August 2023 & put only a 1,300 miles on the car. All 4 tires are cracked & was told that they are defective & should be under warranty. Upon calling customer service I was told that they sold me tires that were manufactured back in 2021 & that the warranty had expired. I would not have bought tires that were 2 yrs old had I know. Sucks.

    I ordered "in stock" wheels, tires, and TPMS package from Tirerack.com (TR) and scheduled a $20 install (bolt on) with Discount Tire (DT). I then got an email that it would take over a month to ship the combo due to TR’s logistics issues. We considered different options but none would work. I had winter tires on my vehicle and I was not going to run them for over another month. I requested the wheels and tires be sent to DT separately. I then had to pay DT $120 to mount and balance the tires.

    This is an extra $100 that I had to spend due to TR’s logistics issues. It is even worse that TR is owned by DT and ultimately is the same company. TR saved the labor of mount and balance and then charged me the labor of mount and balance, which should have been free, due to TR’s logistics issue. When I asked if I could get a discount on the package to help with M&B I was told that was not an option. BAD logistics, BAD website (showed "in stock"), BAD customer service. GOOD tires and wheels in the end.

    You better read the fine print before buying. Bought 4 tires and rims at the end of January that were supposed to come pre-balanced. Noticed immediately that there was an issue with the balance. Contacted customer service and they stated they would cover a balance. Got them balanced, better but still an issue that got increasingly worse. Lived with it for a few weeks then brought to another garage for high speed balancing ($100). Better but not perfect. Continued to get get worse. Contacted customer service who sent me to Warrantee, they told me that one of the tires or rims is out of round and I need to have a shop conduct a road force test and if they find an issue AND the tire has not worn down by 1/12 in. they will exchange. Tire Rack took no ownership of the problem and blamed everything on the manufacturer. I did not purchase these from the manufacturer. I purchased them from Tire Rack. Horrible. Also lug nuts were too short.

    Buyer beware! Back on 3-11-23 I ordered some tires. Seventeen hundred dollars worth of tires. Then 2 hours later I canceled the order. They have it all logged and everything but still sent the tires out to Firestone that I requested. Well, I'll sawesome the $1700 bill. Called them. They said, "Oh Firestone said they sent it back." Nobody has a report on anything. Nobody steps up to the plate, they point finger at Firestone and vice versa. It's a bunch of hogwash.

    This is a good company obviously with good prices, quick shipping and good customer service. However, something to consider. I’ve purchased 12 tires from this company in the past year for three different vehicles. The last set of four that I purchased had 1 tire that was defective and out of round. I spent almost a year trying to figure out why the vehicle was bouncing down the road. I had the vehicle in three different shops and only the last shop diagnosed a defective tire. We swapped eight different wheels.

    I’ve spent a small fortune mounting and balancing tires and wheels. The defective tire obviously is not the fault of Tire Rack. However, I learned a lesson. Had I purchased tires directly from a retailer and had a problem they would’ve had to address it. Tire Rack is not providing any assistance or compensation for the hundreds and hundreds of dollars I’ve spent trying to balance and mount defective tires.

    Also, when I requested a replacement tire, I was told I had to pay for it first and then wait for me to return the tire to them and hopefully eventually credit my account. Obviously, you don’t expect to get defective tires, but it can happen. As a result, I will not be buying tires from Tire Rack ever again because again there is no recourse for the expense of mounting and balancing defective tires. Just something to think about.

    I order a tire and wheel set with TPMS sensors from Tire Rack. TPMS sensors did not work even after going to two different Discount Tire locations. Got new in-stock TPMS sensors installed at Discount Tire instead. Requested a refund of TPMS sensors from Tire Rack. Service representative Katrina ** was rude and not helpful. Finally ordered UPS pickup but to a misspelled address. Tried contacting her to correct the address and she still insisted on sending pickup to the wrong address. After confirming my address, she never entered the correct location into the system. Had to call Tire Rack the next day and speak to another representative to get it fixed. Overall wasted 16+ hours trying to resolve TPMS sensor issue and get a refund, and it hasn't happened yet. Will never order from Tire Rack again.

    Tire Rack had a promotion on tires if you applied for Goodyear credit card you would get a rebate of 300.00. The catch 22 is you can't apply the rebate to the purchase... and when do you find this out? When you apply for the rebate it's in the terms and conditions...it led me down the road that the rebate would be applied to the purchase because I applied for the Credit Card. I was led down the rabbit hole only to have to buy other stuff that I don't need. It's Christmas I could use the rebate now not 6-8 weeks that it will take to get it. Better get Baquero of NBC.

    I had many positive experiences ordering from Tire Rack over the years. After many many sets of tires I finally had a road hazard claim and dealing with the third party company to process this claim has been a royal pain in the.... The portal is very vague and they will post "awaiting more information" without telling you what they need. In my case they wanted a photo of the invoice for the new tire I bought from Tire Rack! This is when I realized I was not dealing with TR any longer but some outsourced third party outfit. I was so dissatisfied with this customer experience that I cancelled a high end set of tires that were on back order and due in in a few weeks. The order # is ** in case TR wants to check. Save the hassle in case you have a problem. Just buy from your local tire store where a problem can be addressed in person.

    Tire Rack tire road hazard warranty claims are outsourced and do not provide their touted best-in-class experience. In Florida that outsource company is NIU of Florida. Claims are not processed in the promised 3 to 5 business days. Attempts to communicate with TRR Claims/NIU only result in form emails without any updates to the claim. If you are considering a Tire Rack tire purchase you may not want to put much value in their warranties.

    I purchased four 33x12.50R18 General Grabber x3 tires Jan 2022 from Tire Rack. I was purchasing these for future use on my 2004 Ford F150, knowing that the price was about to skyrocket. Stored them in my weathertight 2 car garage for future use. Fast forward 22 months later. I finally needed new tires on the Ford. Took the tires to my local installer and they could only get 1 out of 4 tires to mount and bead seat correctly. I took them to another installer that specialize in big truck tires (been in business for 30+ years). They could not get beads to seat either.

    Polished the wheel bead, lubed them well, and put them in the big truck tire cage and hit them with 120psi. STILL would not seat beads. TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE as per both installers. Tire Rack refused to even discuss replacements. I don't want money back, only useable tires. STAY AWAY FROM TIRE RACK. ZERO CUSTOMER LOYALTY. THEY GET YOUR MONEY AND THEY'RE DONE WITH YOU.

The mechanic at the Firestone where they were installed is actually the one to bring the excessive wear to my attention. He said to file a claim with Tire Rack. I filed a claim for all four tires and was denied without them actually wanting to even see the tires.

    I bought 4 tires from Tire Rack that they said included a road hazard warranty. Discount Tire installed them as Tire Rack said they now are owned by Discount Tire. 1 week later, I got a flat and Discount Tire said they couldn't repair it because it was in the sidewall. I had to pay a higher price for a new tire and then file a Road Hazard claim with some third party company called Nations Safe Drivers. It took hours. Their website is the worst I have ever seen. I kept getting errors like, "Something Went Wrong". The password they gave me does not meet their requirements for a password. After a week, I came to the conclusion that Tire Racks Road Hazard Warranty is totally bogus.

    I've order many tires and wheel packages from Tire Rack. Most of what I've bought I've had trouble with due to constant vibration. Most likely out of round tires and small bends in the rims. I've wasted so much money on balancing tires I can no longer recommend Tire Rack products. Most of the tires have had high road force values but just below what Tire Rack deems returnable. These tire can not be used on my vehicle with stiffer sports suspension so I've been forced to eat the cost multiple times. Lesson learned.

    Most recent purchase the wheels were not even road force balanced as claimed by Tire Rack. I had to have all wheels road forced balanced again to find values as a high as 30 and 29. Even with road force balancing reducing these values does not help much as this indicates there an inherent problem with the tires itself. Unfortunately, these can't be returned since the lowered value after balancing are considered acceptable by Tire Rack.

    I ordered a set of Tires and Rims on April 19th 2024. I had a hunch it may take some time so I was trying to be patient with the process. I hadn't heard anything about my order so, after 4 weeks I finally called them on May 15th 2024. The women that I spoke to was very rude and abrupt on the phone. She kept saying; "We are waiting to hear from the manufacturer!" When asked if this was normal to take so long and at least, what was the time frame projected for delivery. She just kept repeating, "We are waiting on the manufacturer." I asked her if she could reach out to them. She declined and did not seem knowledgeable about how to go about calling them on my behalf.

    I finally called back again on May 25th 2024 to get an update and got transferred to a person that told me "Oh, that order won't be here until July!" Why didn't they tell me this to begin with?? I finally cancelled the order and found a local dealer that ordered me tires and rims that came within 5 days. No problem and even promised a better price than Tire Rack. Will never ever use Tire Rack.com again. Terrible management and communication.

    Four new tires with a full warranty on all four tires. Bought them under a year ago. Had a blowout that almost killed my entire family. Children involved. Very frightening. Went and had a local place that are honest and truthful. People took the tires off my car so that they were all wearing the same way and a future blowout could be possible so I replaced all four tires, call Tire Rack to get my warranty working and in place and they gave me the runaround for days and they are doing nothing for me but just stressing me out. They are absolutely a horrible company. Deal with people behind the phone customer service. They just take days to go back-and-forth needing another review and it was all the waste of time. My family still not over the trauma that happened over these crappy tires and cost us a lot of money to put the proper tires on. The discount tire rack gives you is not worth your families lives.

    I purchased a set of Goodyear Eagle All-Season tires a few years ago. While they were still in the two-year warranty period, I experienced a puncture fairly close to the sidewall and contacted Tire Rack. I attempted to replace it under warranty, and being that I have an all-wheel drive car, I ordered an additional tire so at least the tread life of the front tires would match. Unfortunately, shortly after I purchased the set, Tire Rack no longer had them available. I chose these tires specifically because of how quiet they are. They are one of only two tires available with the "sound comfort technology" foam inside, so my choices for similar replacement tires were very limited.

    Less than a year after purchasing a new set of tires, I didn't want to, and couldn't afford to, purchase yet another entire new set of different tires. A representative told me that they may receive more stock soon, so I patched the tire and decided to wait, every two to three days having to top it off with air. The leak has gotten worse and now that I have two children, I can no longer continue to drive on a tire that is this compromised. I just looked on the site and found that the tires are finally back in stock.

    Even though I alerted Tire Rack within the necessary time period, unfortunately, I am now outside the two-year warranty period, and Tire Rack will not replace the one tire. It is not my fault that Tire Rack was unable to replace the tire within the warranty period, yet it is my problem, and I have to spend even more money to fix it. What good is a two-year warranty if Tire Rack can't replace it within the two years?

    I have been a Tire Rack customer for over 20 years. Initially it was because I had performance cars, and Tire Rack had by far the best inventory and variety of brands. I probably used them a half a dozen times or more over the 20 years, with no issues. Last week I ordered 4 tires, and Tire Rack recommended a local Tires Plus for the install. What a nightmare! This was my first set of tires, at 5 years, at 47K miles. The Tires plus promised a free alignment check, and I had a coupon for a battery check. The store was dingy. I checked in, verified the Tire Rack tires were there, and made arrangements for the install, alignment and battery check. When I went to pick up my vehicle, they told me that the alignment and battery were fine. Now, I knew the alignment was not “fine”. The car had 5 years and 47K miles!

    I asked for the alignment printout, as the tire warranty explicitly states that proof of alignment, or alignment check is required. They had no printout. They said their printer has been broken for one and a half years! They also had no printout for the battery check. As anyone knows, if you can’t document it, it wasn’t done! So I took my vehicle to a non tire repair shop for an alignment and battery check. I got printouts on both. The alignment was out and needed adjustment. The battery was barely able to hold a charge! The new shop made a $350 sale. So I sign on to Tire Rack chat, to let them know of my experience. Mainly so they can quit recommending this shop, and disappointing their customers. Instead, I got some person on chat with a horrible attitude, who immediately went to work defending the shop! He stated alignments and batteries were not their concern on this sale!

    Their only concern was the tires. Apparently horrible customer service from their installers is just fine with them. I saw no point in trying to explain further to this individual that the installer was the face of Tire Rack, and my only concern at this point was to let others know to avoid this shop, because it was apparent Tire Rack did not care. I will never use Tire Rack again after this experience. I wanted to let Tire Rack know an installer was damaging their reputation. They completely missed the point, or don’t care. Hard to understand. I just read other reviews, and it is clear that the purchase of Tire Rack by Discount Tire has completely changed the company culture, from excellent to awful.

    I placed my order for 4 tires and waited a week to get it. Nothing arrived, so I went to track the order and found out that it was simply..CANCELLED. I called the customer service and asked for explanation. They said the order was canceled because I did not respond to their voice message which they sent to verify the order. I did not get this message, and the usual means of communication are EMAIL or TEXT MESSAGES. None of these was sent to me. They made no excuse, though I lost time and there was no Black Friday offer available anymore. I would never buy from them.

    Bought Michelin tires in February from Tire Rack. Was referred to local Monro Muffler for installation (partner). Almost immediately, I started having issues with tire pressure. Tires won't hold pressure. Went back once or twice, couldn't get waited on. Issue continues to persist. So I call Tire Rack to tell them I am having issues. They REFUSE to stand behind the install, refuse to look into it any further. Instead they tell me it is my TPMS, issue, take it to the dealer. It could as simple as the valve stems were not replaced. But they choose to wash their hands of it and tell me to pound sand. I should have bought from the military exchange instead of these folks. At least AAFES won't take advantage of service members.
