Simple tire is a good online retailer too.
What other spare would you want on a Gladiator?
Fast forward tontoday, most online tire sellers(that I know of)send each tire as a seperate shipment with individual tracking numbers. Luckily, out of atleast 4 online tire purchases, I've received everything together and undamaged.
For the most part, I do as well. That said, I have used TireRack over the years with no issues whatsoever.
Any decent off road shop can do bead locks However on my buggy i mount my own (i have a manual stand ans spoons)
When I contacted my local shop I was quoted something like $600-$800 to install the tires on beadlocks because they charge their hourly rate to do it and at an hour or more per tire.
I bought 5 tires off of Ebay. I got 3 different shipments. 1 tire, 3 tires, and 1 tire. The 3 shipments shipped from 3 different places. Maybe your problem is something like that.I placed an order for 4 tires on jeepandtruckparts.com aka HPTAutosport on Thursday, January 9, and my credit card was billed immediately.
Jeepandtruckparts.com is located in North Carolina and advertises that they ship in 1-5 business days.
On Tuesday, January 14, the tires shipped from Dallas, TX using XPO. On Friday, January 17, XPO scheduled the delivery for Monday, January 20. When the XPO driver arrived, he said he had 3 tires for me. He opened his truck, and there was one pallet with 3 tires on it. I immediately checked the JeepandTruckParts.com website, and sure enough, the sure said that all items in the order had shipped.
I called them using the number on the paperwork on the pallet. I got a voicemail saying that they do not accept any phone calls and to send an email. I emailed them and was told they would check with the warehouse. The next email said that they were out of stock and were checking on the lead time for the missing tire. The next email said they could refund my money for the missing tire if I didn't want to wait.
My problem is that they should have told me they only had 3 tires 11 days ago, instead of sending the 3 they had and not trying to find a 4th tire at that time. I emailed and told him I would prefer to just receive a refund for the entire order. I received no reply. What would you do? I called my credit card company and they asked me to wait 24 hours to see if they "make it right" before reversing the charges.
Discount tire will. Just use the "swap winter to summer tire" option and they will charge you the cost of Labor and you will get their warranty coverage.
I understand you shopped on line for tires and waiting for them to arrive is half that battle but I’m not understanding why choose that over going to a tire merchant near you where you’d have balancing done, your concerns looked after, perhaps even a tire replacement if needed or warranty issues cared all while you sit and have a coffee in their waiting room.
If it was cost, he definitely got what he paid for.
