Tire Se - Itree1986 - 10-27-2022
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with getting tires from discount tire through their replacement policy. I bought all new tires about 6 months ago but also paid extra for the replacement/ warranty and would like to take advantage of this. I was considering just pulling over somewhere hidden a little ways away from discount tire and putting large holes in the center tread or something and then go to a different location and maybe do them 2 at a time or something but interested if any one is familiar with this type of SE. Thanks for any insight and your time.

From what i have gathered the tires have to have more than 30% tread or be newer than 3 years they can not be damaged by any act of vandalism... such as in the side wall etc. and that was about the meat of the fine print that i was able to gather. i was really hoping someone had done this before and they would have experience in this, but i guess i can be the pioneer if need be.. im going to try it at some point. i was thinking of trying maybe a piece of angle iron or something really sturdy that should pierce the tire and stick in it so i could i drive say a mile or so to the shop. i dont see why they wouldnt have to replace it as long as it looks legitimate. i mean that is the purpose of paying the extra $29 or whatever it is.
