What is Tirebuyer?

Tirebuyer is an online retailer of tires and wheels for all types of vehicles. The company keeps an online inventory of available tires and connects buyers to local mechanics in their area. To help you purchase the right products, Tirebuyer provides online matching tools and educational resources.

How does Tirebuyer work?

Tirebuyer sells tires and wheels for all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, trailers and lawn vehicles.

If you’re buying tires or wheels for your car, enter the year, make, model and style of your vehicle into Tirebuyer’s selection tool. Then you’ll be prompted to choose the size and any other relevant options. Tirebuyer tells you exactly how to find out what size you need, with photos and descriptions within the tool. When buying specialty items, like trailer or lawn tires, you’ll be able to select related criteria.

For each option, you’ll provide your ZIP code. Tirebuyer displays all options that fit your criteria and can be delivered to your home. In many cases, the company offers free delivery.

Tirebuyer works with a network of over 10,000 nationwide installers. The company guarantees its installations and backs all purchases with 45-day free returns. Many installers do the work directly in your driveway.

How much does Tirebuyer cost?

Tirebuyer’s products cost from $18 to $300 or more. The exact cost depends on the type of tires you need, the vehicle you own, the tread, the brand and the quality, but here are some estimates:

  • Tires for a 2012 Toyota Corolla: between $56 and $123 each
  • Wheels for a 2012 Toyota Corolla: between $60 and $249 each
  • Trailer tires: between $23 and $122 each

The company can deliver to a local installer at no cost and offers free returns for up to 45 days. Many products come with a manufacturer’s warranty.

Note that installation isn’t included in the cost of a tire; the company estimates that installation costs around $15 to $45 per tire. Some states charge tire disposal fees, though these usually are only $1 to $2, according to Tirebuyer.

    I should have never ordered from… I should have never ordered from Tirebuyer. They made the ordering process easy, but only two tires have been shipped and the other two are lost somewhere in my City. Tirebuyer just keeps saying "give me another 48 business hours to look into it," and they won't help provide information so I can just pick them up myself. Meanwhile our car continues to have a flat tire all around town, getting stuck on the side of the freeway and having to fill it up several times a day. We need these tires and I would have just bought them from a local shop if I knew how much hassle it was going to be. Plus $45 per tire to ship it... it should take two weeks to receive the shipment. I have at least three check-ins with Tirebuyer with the same thing every time: "give us another 48 business hours." I would never purchase from them again.

    I do not recommend this company, it sells old tires for the price of new ones. This company sold older than a year tire for the price at new tire. Agent on the chat asked me it's everything. It's ok for him.

      They are a scam, made Order on the 13th for $300+...2 days later cancelled because they were "out of stock". Made another order on 17th different set of tires $300+. 4 days go by with ZERO updates so I decide to message chat support who then tells me this order was cancelled due to "out of stock". This is not a coincidence. They are taking $ knowing they cannot fulfill. Any positive reviews are very clearly paid for/fake. Do not waste your time, energy or money on this place.

      I ordered tires on July 2nd to be installed on August 12th and I received no indication of a scheduled time. I called the installed and they had no idea what was going on. I then chatted with a customer service agent and told them the situation and that because of the installer not being very reliable. I was given the tracking number and told the installer will call me. Did not listen to what I said. I cancelled a perfectly easy tire sale because of poor customer service.

      TireBuyer is competitively priced if not cheaper than brick and mortar stores. They also allow me to schedule with my installer in one convenient location since I ship the tires to my installer. They're kind of a one stop shop and that's what I appreciate about it. I used to go with Bridgestone Firestone because they would let me schedule online, then the last time I had to have tires mounted, I used a local company here that had done some work for me. But either way, TireBuyer has a ton of convenient installers and I'm not having to look around for somebody to ship to. Aside from that, they carry the brands I like and they usually ship out of the Knoxville warehouse on the same day, so I get excellent service times from them and that makes for a very good overall experience for me.

      Having the tires delivered and installed at a location close to me and seeing courier prices are fixed were big selling points for me. The last time I used TireBuyer's website, it was perfectly fine. It was easy enough to filter down what I needed. I've used TireBuyer for my truck and then also my wife's car. Every time, it was pretty clear and concise. There are a lot of details and information that you can get into with tires, but it kind of gives you that helicopter view for a while, if you need to dive down you can to get the results. So that was good too. Because most people don't know the speed rating or the load rating for tires. They just know that they need tires that fit their car.

      If anyone's ever looking for tires, TireBuyer is the first place I'd tell them to go because not everyone has the time to go buy tires, go sit in a place and then not know that you're getting the best deal and not know what your price is when you get there. TireBuyer was like, "Hey, this place has a charge for disposal or charge for the tire pressure system." It was all upfront and that made it that much easier.

      Purchasing with TireBuyer was easy. It was two clicks, especially on eBay. So, it’s just click to buy. The communication and shipping were fast, and I got a date before the quoted time. There are a lot more skirts on the tires for my car because it's an SUV and TireBuyer was a lot cheaper than most competitors. The tires are installed and I’m using them right now. My wife and I love them. They’re almost as good as the original ones. They’re quiet and doesn't get up my gas mileage. They hold pressure and the treads are good as well too.

      Updated on 10/22/2024: Tirebuyer satisfactorily resolved the issue. Thanks.

      Original Review: The above caption title says it all. I recently purchased 4 tires from Tirebuyer.com online. They, in turn, shipped said tires to the install company that participates and is part of their buy/install network. Except, Tirebuyer's customer service personnel are poorly trained or, lacking necessary communication skills. Tirebuyer, canceled my installation despite the third party installer not being aware of same under the guise of, "they are booked up, no open appointments." Really? The appointment, was made with the third party installer and, they didn't cancel it, Tirebuyer canceled. It gets better. Tirebuyer records telephone conversations without the customers knowing - hello! That's very deceptive! Bottom line, I do not recommend this business for any tire needs, nada. BUYER BEWARE!

      The site was okay and it works fine. It seems to do a decent job of confirming inventory so that if you're buying something, it's very likely that you're going to get it. It seems relatively reliable. There was a bit of a delivery delay, though. They were supposed to arrive within 48 hours and it ended up taking another day or a day and a half. Then, there was very little communication between those things happening. They could ensure that if things have changed, the customer is made aware sooner.

      The tires didn't arrive on time. It was gonna take about a week to get the tires that were promised in two days because all of the orders didn’t get sent out at once. Only three tires got sent out. Ultimately, the installer never got them. They got them three days after I had already canceled the order. They told me they were going to send the tires back. The prices are reasonable. It’s just that after the purchase process, it kinda falls flat.

      When I was ordering the tire, I bought four and I clicked on the tire size that was not the right tire size. I noticed that after I purchased it and then went back and called as soon as I did. Within 15 minutes, they had it corrected and I was able to order new tires with the correct tire size. Everything went well. I'm very happy that people do what they say they're gonna do. They sent the tires on time. Normally, I wouldn't have to go through customer service because I try to do the right purchases at the onset. But this time, I did and for them to be able to fix it as quickly as they did was rather well.

      I ordered a tire and there was no warning when I ordered it from Tire Rack that it was back stocked and it would be three months until the one tire that I needed arrived. TireBuyer was the secondary choice and everything was incredibly efficient. They had it delivered within 24 hours. After the kind of poor experience with Tire Rack, TireBuyer was pretty smooth sailing. Looking in my email, there was a lot of communication. They told me when it's been shipped and delivered. They gave me information about my warranty. They’re also not sending me a ridiculous amount of emails because they have my email, too, which I appreciate.
