There the worst

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
If your purchased tire had road hazard THEY WON'T REPLACE IT. If It had a rebate they won't send it to you on time. If you ordered tires on sale, they cancel your order and when you call to find out why? They say they can still get them for you and will just have to put in a new order ...oh yeah did we mention it will now cost you $200 more. They're crooks STAY away

DEFECTIVE TIRE

I purchased a set of 205/55R-16 Vredestein HiTrac All Season SL on 4/27.

Due to medical issues we didn't get them mounted for several weeks.

We installed them on my wife's 05 Pontiac Vibe. She drove the car exactly 5 days from May 30th to June 3rd., Aprox.

80 miles when she noticed a huge 4" oval bubble on the sidewall.

I talked to customer service and they want me to fill out all this paper work for "ROAD HAZARD". WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, IT'S A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND ALL WE WANT IS IT REPLACED.

I have plenty of photos of the tire. I've already shown it to several tire shops and they all agree It's a bad tire.

Old Inventory

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Tires

I was quite surprised that the salespeople at Tire Rac were trying to pass off tires that had a manufacturer's date that was almost 2 years old as new.

ALWAYS check the manufacturers date on a tire to understand when it was made. Tires (whether being used or not, regardless of how they're stored) degrade over time and slowly lose their structural integrity as well as their effectiveness of gripping in dry/wet weather.

Most manufacturers and retailers do not recommend using tires past 6 years(regardless of tread) for these reasons.

While 2-year-old rubber is still fine, it should not be considered new.

(you've essentially lost 2 years of use life at that point).

The sales practice of preying on unsuspecting consumers is not what I'd have expected from them. I wonder how long theyll continue to pass off that old inventory as new to unsuspecting consumers.

Pretty pathetic.

Bad Tires

Tire Rack - Bad Tires
Purchased tires from Tire Rack had them installed by one of Tire Racks preferred installers. Now cannot drive my car. Tires are so bad they are vibrating my car to pieces. It has been proven by service mechanics that that the Tires are bad. Tire Rack will not do anything. I followed their instructions for returning the tires, they will not speak with me. DO NOT PURCHASE TIRES FROM TIRE RACK!!!

Will not warranty manufacturer detects

Original review Jun 06, 2023
I bought a full set of wheels and tires. One wheel is out of round and has destroyed the tire. They said they can not replace the wheel but would give me 20% off of a wheel that doesn't match. I have been told that it is dangerous to have mismatch wheels and tires on your car. After dealing with this for over a year now they said I'm out of warranty. My car has been to numerous shops dealing with this issue. They said I would be reimbursed for the visits but I have seen nothing. I now have lost over $2600 and to much of my time to even give an accurate number.

Their road hazard warrantee is only 2 years. That doesn't help with winter only tires.

Not Satisfied

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Tire rack sold me tires that were manufactured three years before I purchased them. When the tire fails after four years of use they told me it was my fault. I will never purchase another product from Tire Rack.

Preferred solution: Nothing. Now that I know what I'm dealing with, I'm finished with them.

Poor quality and used not new

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Dont waste your money on this online scam. The tires arent inspected for quality.

They sent my tires to Firestone and they were dirty, stained, and looked used. Im still waiting for a response from customer service.

They have NO customer service good Luck! I will file a complaint with consumers bureau and better business bureau.

Wow how ironic, I've experienced somewhat of the same thing, I ordered 4 tires mind you and also purchased 2 year 55,000 mile roadside warranty. When my tires were delivered to NTB tires they were dusty as well and they didn't look new, I thought that do to all the shipping they looked used.

It's a total straight up rip off Tire Company, they know that these tires has a defect. What did, they sent me 2 good tires and 2 bad tires. I'm a woman, why was I suppose to check them I paid almost $700 for these defective tires including warranty, I expected to get what the *** I paid for. I've only driven the vehicle 43,000 miles.

Per the warranty it clearly says 55,000, I haven't driven total miles yet and they want me to purchase 2 new tires. The warranty is totally misleading, I thought the air was low, I had to keep putting air in front tires. The tread is low but the back tires has plenty tread. It hasn't been to long from the last tire rotation.

Now my tires are wobbley when I drive, it's a inconvience, they want me to send the tires for inspection. What the *** am I supposed to do if I have to send them the tires. I was advised to go to local tire shop and have them to inspect. I went to NTB tires where I had Tire Rack to send them.

That doesn't make any sense, what they did was screw me out of my money, if I knew that this warranty was going to be this difficult to get them to replace my front tires, they want me to purchase 2 new tires. I've only driven 43,000 miles, what the *** does that have to do with the price of tea in China. I haven't driven the 55,000 miles yet. I could have gone to Discount Tires a company that I can drive to and raise *** in person and embarrassed and humiliate you guys like I've been "BAMBOOZLED BY TIRE RACK.

Tire Rack you guys think you going to get away with these defective tires. It's not fair, I don't have it like that anymore, where I can just purchase 4 tires on my credit card. I've retired and on a fixed income and these "AIR HEADS" want me to grease their palms again.

I WON'T EVER PATRONIZED THIS BOOTLEG *** SO CALLED TIRE COMPANY AGAIN. THEY CAN KISS MY PATOOTIE

Great experience with tirerack however.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ordered a nice set of tires for my family member, she had tires installed by a local tirerack recommended shop. I recently checked tire pressure on that vehicle, a 4door compact. Found pressure way out of specified setting over 40psi. Tirerack should QA and vet of recommended shops for customers safety. Buyer beware of what these installers might do.

HORRIBLE experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Not only did they send me the wrong parts but they would not replace them either. I have spent months trying to get my tires properly balanced because they keep saying I have the right parts. But lugs they sent are to long and rings will not stay centered on my car. Now it rides like crap and I can't get any help from them. YOu may save a few dollars but for all the headache and time to only have to buy new parts myself or new wheels it was not worth it.

Then they cancel the order and have them sent back WTF???? It has been 2 months the money is still not credited back to my card now I am going to have to waste more time disputing the charges WHAT A NIGHTMARE!

Local tire shops LOVE U Cheapos w/ tires from another dealer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Tire Rack is for REALLY cheap people, who have no respect for their hard working and professional local tire dealers. Would you bring or ship groceries to a local restaurant, and ask their chef to cook YOUR food in THEIR kitchen, just to save YOU a little money? That would take a lot of nerve! Cheapos like that probably wouldn't tip either. Same way with tires. It would take a lot of nerve to ask for service from a tire shop, when you were too CHEAP to buy their tires! Is there no bottom threshold to one's manners, personal dignity, or raw cheapness?! So wrong!

Their recommended installers probably do it with the hope they'll find a need for additional work like an alignment or suspension parts.

Guest

I never thought of it that way... I will NEVER do that again. Went to them based on a referral but for what is cost me in time and frustration I was not worth it.

Guest

Yes , would rather by the same tire for double the price! These tire dealers need to be help in check and is why I always by my tires from tire direct ! You must be a millionaire
