Default Discount Tire - Bedford

Last Saturday afternoon, just before going to the Dinner Meet, I bought a complete set of S-02's for my new S [the Dealer put el-crapo tires on the car]. Well my front right tire lasted a grand total of 12 miles. I arrived at the meet with a donut for a tire.

I was "annoyed" but I got some good advise at the Meet. Don't go in with a bad attitude and give Discount Tire an opportunity to show their stuff. On Monday morning, without any fuss, muss, or discussion, Discount Tire of Bedford gave me a new tire for $0. Great guys. And hey, THEY'RE A SPONSOR.

Regards,

Al

I thought only the one in Plano off 190/coit was an official sponsor. I've been just having them price match edge racing for the 225/245 RS2's. But congrats on the new tire, they should give you a new one after 12 miles. I saw you on the side but I had no idea it was you or I would've stopped. Glad you got it taken care of though, I don't even have a spare for my RX8, all I got was a can of fix a flat and an air compressor in a plastic box

So, did they actually have the proper S02 in stock? I've never known a Discount Tire (or any store) to keep S2000 tires in stock.

EgoThreat got a brand-new set of OEM S02s. They didn't have them in stock at the store, but the local Bridgestone warehouse had 'em so they got 'em in a couple days.

I just purchased two rear's for my S at the DT on Park & NDT. They honored the price match deal the club has with Al, and (at least at that store) the road hazard was part of that price (and they didn't jack up the install fee at all).

I think I've just been going to the wrong DT store!

Which discount Tire is this in Bedford? There may only be one, but I live in Colleyville and there are 3 discounts within 10 minutes of my house. Is this the one on Harwood @ 121?
I have asked them to honor the club discounts in the past and they said no. So I'm curious as to which one you went to and who you spoke to.
Thanks.
