Never heard of Tire-Rack before, and I thought Discount Tire was out of business... They sold or just closed every one in my region.
Too bad... It they were always my favorite places to buy tires.... They ALWAYS treated me right.

I have some of their stuff they gave me many years ago, but made much of my own as well
In reality your alignment should not change unless something is bent or broken (Strut, A-arm, bushing, ball joint, tie rod end, steering rack part etc.)
If your alignment is not close to spec you should consider and understand why before making adjustments.
I wonder if Tesla’s ad other EV’s have regenerative braking like hybrids?
That’s funny right there!
LOL!!
The Discount Tire store in my area does free tire rotation and pressure checks. One day I stopped for a pressure check and casually mentioned that I had the tires rotated when I had the car serviced at the dealer. They asked how much it cost then pulled $15 out of the cash register and reimbursed me. I don’t buy tires anywhere else.
Agreed. Over the years I’ve purchased a few sets of tires for various vehicles from Discount Tire. Prices seem competitive. Service at the 4 different stores I’ve been in has been quick, polite, and good. That includes one emergency service they did for me when I got a flat. No appointment, in and out first thing when they opened so I could get back on the road. It was literally less than 20 min for two new tires. (old tires were not worth trying to patch)
Love my flying car.
Tire Rack has great tests and reviews.
It is a great resource and worth looking into.
Discount Tire is a reasonably priced option. I’ve bought several sets of tires from them over the years.
However, we’ve bought from Sam’s Club or Costco the past number of years.
Odd that Discount Tire is based in Arizona when Big O seems to dominate here.
Most EVs have regen, that helps with lower brake weak and most importantly improving battery range.
Next one to be bought out....
“Dr. Tire Store” is owned by Sheldon’s brother George and his chain is the biggest supplier of tires in the state of Texas.
Discount Tire is big in the larger Texas metropolitan areas. They are great to do business with. But, every store I’ve seen stays really busy. It must be a testament to their value.
Price doesn’t matter to me. I will always use Discount Tire for one reason…I was having my tires replaced and a tow truck pulls in with an old van with two flats. The woman who owned the van (it was her home) was in tears and did not know how she was going to pay for the tire repairs. The manager calmed her down and told her he would put them on for free. I bought the other two for her. The fact he didn’t blink an eye and stepped up, gave me faith in humanity.
That’s a great story. Will consider that when buying tires.
I ordered a set of four Michelin truck tires for my GMC at a cheaper price than the dealer, or “discount” tire seller...
Dr. Tire Store... LOL
