Not to sound ignorant or be an a$$, but what are the chances of a discount or some kind of price break for ls1tech.com members? I am getting ready to get some tires here in the next week and my local sears told me they would match your advertised price. Yeah this helps me out a little but if I can get a better deal and come away supporting those who support us then we are all a little happier.

Just like most sponsors on this site, we will from time to time set up a discount of sorts. There wont be a ls1tech.com set full time discount though. Sears will match our price, even with charging you tax?

thats what the manager said. It suprised the hell out of me, but I assume that most people are now buying tires from yall and other discount/wholesale shops. So I assume that they are just trying to get some business. Thanks for the info.

Well, I just purchased a set of (4) 275/35/18 Nitto 555r's (not the drag radial) and the gentleman who handled my order was very helpful. I mentioned that I was an active member of this site and was ordering from DTD because they were in fact a sponsor of this board.
Needless to say he met my goal of 4 tires for less than $800 (you do the math of how much of a discount).
I have purchased probably in total now, 16 tires from DTD and will continue to when the Explorer needs a new set. You guys are great and a definite benefit and resource.

p.s. how much of a difference will I see from road force balancing the tires as opposed to normal balancing.

I know I would if I still worked at Best Buy. LOL.
I'd say Best Buy is a very different market, because you can find electronics online for SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than retail.

I would be more inclined to buy tires from Discount Tire if their website was more helpful, like what Tirerack has. Even if you call them to ask a specific question about a race tire, they have to "get back to you" hours later. Where's the Hoosier's? Where's the Victoracer's?

Well, I thought I'd mention, that just a few days ago, I bought a full set of Chrome Z06 Motorsports wheels, with Nitto Extremes and 555r DR's mounted and balanced. Some of the rims had some minor dings, but the guys at DTD bent over backwards to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. including shipping out new wheels immediately, as alternates, for me to choose from, and leaving me with a standing offer, that if I was't satisfied even a few days into the sale, that my money would be promptly refunded. They did everything a company can do, and then some, to guarantee my satisfaction with their product, service, knowledge, responsiveness, and warranty. That's about all a customer can ask from a company!!!
Big thanks DTD!!...and special thanks to Adam, Mitch, and Sam, for making this a pleasant buying experience!

you were more than likely misquoted by one or the other. We are never higher. Could be a mistake in the comp, the salesman read the long line...or most likely, you were quoted a KDW at the store.

Well I'm very sure I wasn't misquoted in the store location. My family has done lots of business with Discount Tire retail shops. Just recently we purchase a set of 22'inch Lazaro's for the Escalade. But now I'm in a need of all for new tires for my SS. 275/40/17 for the front and 315/35/17 for the rear. Not sure if KD's or KDW's are going to be in my price range, but would like to continue to use Discount retail or DTD.
