Default Dicsount tire rocks!!! (and BFG)

I bought Km2s 285/75/17s for my jku after getting a price from a jeeper at discount tire, i went to the belle tire i worked at for 2 years for a price match.... They where over a hundred dollars off from discount even with a "employee discount". I could not understand how discount beat them by that much but i was very happy and pissed at belletire at the same time. After they installed them (two techs busted it out in 30 mins) I tipped each one 5 bucks for the great and fast work. I was so happy with how they looked but after our first real snow a few weeks ago I was so disappoint I was about to sell them and the rims for a big loss just to get something that would do a little better in the snow. So i went in the discount tire 3k miles later because i wanted my tpms's out ( witch they will not do fyi lol) and I also told them about the issues i have had about snow driving and no questions asked they called BFG and sat on the phone with them for 30 minutes and got them to trade in the KM2s for 315/75/17 A/Ts. Not only did they swap it out at not extra cost they rebuilt my tpms's for no extra cost. This was a the best tire buying experience i have ever had and I used to sell tires.... BIG props to discount tire and BFG i am now a life long customer.


and on a side note i wish i would have just went with these from the get go i love them i have had them on my plow trucks, and other jeeps i guess i should have stuck with what i know.

the prof is in the pics all was done in 2 wheel drive

I bought my 35" BFG A/T s there also. I have had them for a couple years now, and they have been great tires! I also got their lifetime rotation and balance. It is great making an appointment and knowing it will not cost me any more money.

So far i've had nothing but good times using discount tire. I told them I was going to need new rims for the tires I was about to buy and showed them the ones I wanted and how much quadratec had them for and they priced matched. They also rock for the simple fact that being military they also give me a discount.

I live in butler,pa. About an hour north or Pittsburgh and I either go to butler tires for less or 4wd. Tires for less isn't bad. I picked up my 33/12.50/15 Goodyear duratracs for 860 mounted and balanced out the door. 4 of them that is
