Discount Tire

Manager Danny Bojaj at the Rochester Discount Tire store provided excellent service in October 2010 by ordering a set of Yokohama AVID Envigor tires from the warehouse for my car on a Monday and installing them Thursday promptly at my appointment time. I was pleased that these new tires were just manufactured in August; whereas my previous new set of Pirelli P Zero Nero tires, purchased at Belle Tire in Rochester several years ago, were already 9 months old when they were installed! The mounting at DT took less than 1 hour despite my opting for the more involved ""match mounting/road force"" dynamic-balancing procedure. Few tire dealers even offer that installation process, but according to TireRack, it is the only way to accurately match-mount replacement tires. That procedure is very worthwhile, particularly for today's high-performance tires and wheels, in order to obtain optimal balance. I immediately noticed the perfectly smooth ride and lack of high-speed vibration in my car compared to my old tires that had previously not undergone that advanced mounting/balancing technique. DT's price for this service (using state-of-the-art ""Hunter Road Force Balancing"" equipment) was only $10/tire extra, while some custom shops apparently charge up to $25/tire more for that same process. My tire installation was flawless, with no scratching or marking of my car's sport wheels. In addition, DT offered a $40 rebate ($10/tire) on my purchase, which was conveniently redeemed via a simple online application at their Web site. DT's attractive pricing, superb custom service from ordering through installation, and their comfortable waiting-room area make that dealer far superior to other tire stores in the area. This review may read like it was written by a DT employee, but I don't work for the company. However, I am a car enthusiast who thoroughly researches equipment purchases for my vehicle, and I am a very satisfied customer of the Rochester Discount Tire dealer. more

First, I enjoyed being able to order my new tires and schedule the appointment online. My 8am appointment was on time and by 8:45am I was already driving down the road with 4 new tires. The employees were very nice and polite. And my husband, who is a retired Ford mechanic, was pleased to see that they put the tires on the proper way, without trying to rush and take the shortcuts he had watched so many of his coworkers take and later regret. And even better, I got in on a good deal with a $100 rebate for ANY set of 4 tires. We've been driving on our new tires since 9/23/10 now and have not had a single problem. Can't wait to go back when I need new tires. more
