I made a good contact at the new Discount Tire in Cedar Hill off Hwy 67 and Beltline Rd. They are 5 mintues from my shop. The managers name is Bruce and he is going to stock one set of 555's and pair of DR's at his store. His prices are 10-20 bucks cheaper per tire than any other store. Nitto 555's 295/45/18's and DR's305.45.18's for the L. The prices I have worked out for TALON members is $195 for the Nitto 555's or Toyo Proxes, $230 for Nitto Drag Radials. That includes mounting and lifetime balance. I reccomend you to use them for all of your tire needs. Bruce works very hard to give us the lowest price you will find on anything you need.
Phone is 972-291-3939.

I have found a Discount with competent employees that do a great job. They do all of my work including mounting up Rob's HRE's that were over $1K per wheel:eek2:. I have talked them into stocking Nitto 295/45/18's for the L. The prices I have worked out for TALON members is $190 for the Nitto 555's, $225 for Nitto Drag Radials. That includes mounting and lifetime balance. I reccomend you to use them for all of your tire needs.
One of my Corvette cusotmers lives in DeSoto and said he would rather use his local Discount to mount a new set of wheels he bought. I told him to try this store and he did. Now he was so impressed by the service and prices he brought his wife's Trailblazer in for new rubber. The store is at I-20 and Great Southwest Pkwy. by the new Wal-Mart and Schlotsky's. Their phone# is 972.602.3385 and talk to Brooks. Let them know you are a PR customer and he will take care of you:tu:

Terry, cant thank you enough for taking care of us like this..

Thanks

Thanks, Those are my direct wholesale prices I pay for tires. I don't get a penny off of your purchases with them. I just appreciate the way they do business at that location and pass it on. The wholsale cost on the tires from Discount Direct warehouse is 177 and 213 so you can see there isn't much mark up in there for labor etc. Basically 13 bucks a tire. Those tires retail for 219 and 253 regularly.

I just spoke with Brooks at Discount Tire and I'm getting 4 Toyo Proxes for $189 each incl. mount/bal. etc. to be delivered Mon/Tue.

Originally, he quoted me $200 per, but I told him about this http://www.treadepot.com/tireswheels.c/orders/index.html , so he came down to $189.

Thanks for the hookup, Terry!

There is always someone cheaper but rarely better:tu: TireRack won't help you when you damage a tire on the road. There are Discount Tire locations coast to coast. I always give Brooks a little lunch money for making a good deal happen. He usually throws in metal valve stems, tape balance whatever it takes to get it done right:beer:

I appreciate you guys using Brooks! Your volume keeps our prices lower. Rob and I have probably accounted for a lot of those sales personally:rll: . Anyway, I appreciate it and remember he can do tires for regular cars as well. He hooked up Adam's Mustang, my dad's Z-71, brother's Chevy 1500. What I like is there Nationwide coverage. It is like buying something at a Walmart:tu:

I'd buy through Discount Tire/Brooks again, but I would've dealt DIRECTLY with Brooks since he knows Terry and has dealt with Ls!.

The day they called me with my tires, Brooks was off and they had the "crew" in there. I requested Brooks to take care of it "start to finish" with the front-desk, but that was his day off. :(

The high-schoolers scuffed the rims in a few spots, but other than that, they did a good job.

I'd do it again, except I'd coordinate when Brooks would've been there and taken care of me personally.

RonaldScuffed rims is NEVER a good job. I had bought the lifetime balance at Walmart and the dipshit laid the hubcaps on the floor...FACE DOWN!!! One of them looked like it slid across the floor six feet!:nono: I couldn't believe it. Even when I was bustin tires back in the day I alwaysed set the caps face up and out of the way like on the lift arms. I was pissed! I might cut my losses and try Discount next time.

Is Brooks in sales or in the shop? If sales, does he go back there and bust the tires and balance himself?

Brooks is an assistant manager but he does my HRE and custom wheels himself. Jesus is a good tire and balance man up there.

Another :tu: for Discount Tire, this time in Cedar Hill. I called and spoke to David about a puncture repair (put a mesquite thorn through the RR). He said no charge for the repair, they use a plug/patch, and he'd have me in and out in 30 minutes. It was actually 22 minutes and the guy that did the work asked me what inflation pressure I wanted. I didn't even have to ask him to hand torque the lugs. Nice work, with professional service. They just asked me to remember them when I need new tires. I will.

I still deal with Brandt for all my tire/wheel needs. Since Terry started this thread I have gotten my Racelines for the truck, new Nitto Front and Nitto DR's for the rear. New rear tires for the rear of the 350Z as well as front and rear Michelin Pilot Sports for the Viper. He even went out of his way to find the run flats I wanted for the new 19's in the rear.

I also had them mount up the new wheels for the Viper, one was dinged a bit when I got it (got the wheels from Hennessey, not Discount) and Discount sent it off and got it repaired for me. It was back in two days and looked like new.

They just sent off my 19" Volks to get some curb rash cleaned up before I sell them. I'll be picking them up soon.

They are a complete source for all tire/wheel needs.

Thanks a ton Brandt :tu:

UPDATE: With so many folks going to other locations etc we are losing a valuable stocking location at GSW Pkwy. THey use to stock two sets of everything for us. This is still the location for my high end wheel work I understand others like local spots. We'll just have to agree that Discount Tire in general is the place to buy.


Yep, I got new Hankooks from the Tyler store......:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I updated this thread. Since Chris used to work at the Cedar Hill store he got his old manager to give us some smoking deals! I told him to raise his price because he was too cheap. 195 installed for 555's and 230 installed for DR's. I think Brandt is up to 210 and 250 on the Nittos. I encourage all members to support this store and Bruce will hook you up on tires for ALL of your vehicles. He even enters quotes in the computer for my brother in Austin. So he can walk into the Austin store and get a great deal with no haggling.;)

You can call Bruce and ask him to make you a quote and have your local store do the work. The only issue would be that store shipping the tires in etc..
