Your local Discount Tire may be able to order them in for you. I recommend calling the store directly to see what they can do for you.

I am hoping my experience tomorrow with America's tires (an affiliated company, i believe) will be just as good... needing a new set at the last minute... my dealer offered yokohama avid touring-s x4 for $565 with a non-prorated road hazzard warranty, lifetime rotations, and blahbity blah. America's tires wanted to beat their price and offered $550, plus credit for my other 3 good ones, and free upgrade to the 100% non prorated hazzard warranty with replacement at cost for the other 3 should i need to replace 1. This was over the phone, so we'll see when i get there All of your words are encouraging, though!

Typical experience with Discount tires (good one!). I moved to a place where they don't have any DT locations, and I miss being able to deal with them. Discount Tires Direct isn't an acceptible alternative because I still have to go to a local shop to mount and they want at least $25 per tire (not including balancing and stems, etc...) and I have to endure the long narrative of how I'm not saving any money and could have gotten a better deal from the installer, etc...

In California Discount Tire is know as America's Tire. They will give you the best price and service possible just as any of our stores or our online business.

Let us know how your experience went.

Just a quick shout out regarding our local Discount Tire dealer. I've been buying tires from them for over 10 years, and have never had a bad experience.

We own 3 cars and 6 sets of tires on dedicated wheels. They take good care of us, and we return the favor by bringing our business back.
