Discount Tire used to be my place- until they changed to high pressure techniques-they do this long-winded thing when you show up where they act all concerned you are on the bald, wrong, tires and get all extreme on you, and waste your time.
Being told "I needed new tires" with 6/32" showing and I live in the desert.
Strike one.
having them tell me my tires were wrong for my pickup truck (they SOLD me the wheels and tires) and did this big long time consuming dance where they "wanted to research options for my safety" and all I wanted was a tire pressure check.
The end solution they proposed: new tires the same size on the rear- I have a STAGGERED setup. I told 'em they sold me the tires - and how STUPID my truck would look with a 265 /50 /17 up front (currently a 235 /55/ 17). For suggesting such a stupid, mindless solution and wasting 1/2 hour of my time when all I wanted was a pressure check:
Strike 2
Strike three was when I went in for a flat repair and they refused to fix my flat even tho there was tread and it was in the middle- wanted to sell me new tires for "Safety"
Strike 3
Now- I go to the tire rack- I wrote an email to Discount corporate telling them that their new sales policy has turned a once-nice place to shop into a slimy used car lot, and I wasn't going back. I have at least spent $7-8K there over the last 6 years or so...
