Well, it’s getting to be that time. My 2020 Santa Fe will be needing new tires soon. Any certain brands that are better or that you prefer? Would you get tires from Sam’s Club?
I bought the Michelin defenders last year from Costco and they had $150 off coupon at that time. I recently got them rotated there for free as well. You do have to make an appointment for that.FWIW, when it comes to warehouse clubs, generally Sams holds more tires in store inventory than Costco. They both have good service, but I recently went with Costco this time because they had a good sale on some Michelin Defenders that were on the top of the Consumer Reports list for tires in the size my Outback needed. I had to wait 8 days for them to be delivered to the store, but the appointment to get them mounted was well less than an hour. Also, they fill tires with nitrogen instead of oxygen, and will top them up for you anytime, you just need to call first.
If you can hold off till Black Friday, sometimes you can snag a good deal. I grabbed a Buy 2 Get 2 a few years ago at Pep Boys, but in general I always check BJ’s/Sams and Walmart as well. Have even bought online and had shipped to my mechanic with no issues.Well, it’s getting to be that time. My 2020 Santa Fe will be needing new tires soon.

This is a big factor. If the car has high miles and /or you put low miles on it, look for the least expensive tire. We have a tire shop around here that resells tires that come off vehicles that have been totaled -perfectly good tire with a little wear for cheap money. I got two high quality tires with only 20% wear for under $150 installed… they’re $200 each new!I think it depends on how many miles you plan to drive on them and/or how long you plan to keep that vehicle. Most likely the more expensive tires last longer but if you plan to trade in that vehicle and/or don't drive a lot of miles annually, then probably not worth the extra money.
There is no benefit to nitrogen. https://www.consumerreports.org/car...ld-you-use-nitrogen-in-car-tires-a6260003694/Also, they fill tires with nitrogen instead of oxygen, and will top them up for you anytime, you just need to call first.
I’ve been buying my tires at Walmart for years now. I always find they have the best prices (for name brand tires) and I’ve always been pleased. Have put them on four times and my dad has now used them once. Haven’t had any issues.
Have bought General, Douglas, and Goodyear Viva through Walmart. I also bought their cheapest no name tire years ago for an older car that I knew wasn’t going to last long. I didn’t put a lot of miles on those tires but they did just fine for the couple years they were on.
I’ve tried multiple tire places in my area. Both big companies and small. Even ones other people swear by their prices. And Walmart has always come in cheaper for me.
