Any deals out there on new tires?

Post by Humblej » Sun Aug 09, 2020 4:35 pm

Need some new 440/450-21 tires, looking at the usual vendors sites and I am not finding any deals, anyone know of tire sales and/or free shipping out there?

Looks like Universal is offering a $60.00 rebate on a set of four Firestone tires of that size:

I got a set from the source Kelsey Tire Co in Camdenton, MO through a friend that was dealer..... Flaps were free and I ordered tubes and paid hipping for a little less than Summit tires only and free shipping. Summit and many others are selling Kelsey's Tires as they are the sole distributor.

When is the last time you've known that to work? I placed a tire order with them last week and couldn't find a way to get free shipping, or perhaps the shipping is free, but there is a $19.98 "additional shipping charge". Not earth shattering compared to the whole of the order, but I had long read that Summit was free and couldn't find a way to do it.

Walter, a couple of years ago I bought from Summit through eBay and the free shipping was automatic. Not sure if it still is but worth checking.

Interesting. It never occurred to me to check eBay. Right off the bat I can't find a Summit listing, but Jegs has free shipping (not on the exact tire I ordered but same size), everything Coker lists is $24 bucks each to my address, and then there is Collector's Auto Supply (that just happens to be in Chattanooga) and they are $41 bucks.

Summit even acknowledges that they drop ship it from Coker, so if they truly send all four for $20 bucks that's a deal compared to Coker themselves, whose customer service I have found to be abysmal as of late when dealing with them on the phone.
