Buying local from Tire Rack - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Kevin M · 2004-12-02, 05:34 PM

Do I have to call and place my order before I go over there to pick up my snow tires, or can I just show up and buy them? I forgot to call until just now, and their offices are closed. Stupid East Coasters.

Also, is there still a Khail discount?

Nick Koan · 2004-12-02, 05:51 PM

Gotta call. Tell them its for pick in Sparks (so they'll pull it out of inventory of the right warehouse) and then go pick them up. You'll need a credit card over the phone, and you need to show that credit card and a drivers license when you pick them up. I dunno if they have a policy for cash or whatnot.

Crap... I still haven't received my debit card, and I need to have them tomorrow night.

I'd call and find out. It *might* be possible to deal in cash, but I don't know.

If you pay in cash I can get you wholesale prices as well. Let me know what you need and I'll get you a price and see if they are in stock.

Kevin M · 2004-12-03, 09:17 AM

Thanks Khail, you have a PM.

khail19 · 2004-12-03, 09:21 AM

Back at you.

Please let us know what the deal on this is if you can share it. I thought your hook up was only through discount tire which is now gone...

Thanks

khail19 · 2004-12-03, 10:16 AM

It's at Tire Rack as well, always has been. Wholesale price on Wintersport M2 in 205/55/16 is $79, retail is $89. What do you mean it's gone at Discount?

MattR · 2004-12-03, 10:22 AM

Discount Tire closed their Sparks Warehouse

khail19 · 2004-12-03, 10:27 AM

Didn't know that yet. At least I got my winter setup before they left. They were starting to get Prodrive rims too. Oh well.

khail19 · 2004-12-03, 10:29 AM

Crap, that was our source for Falkens though. Now we'll have to pay shipping if we want them.

sperry · 2004-12-03, 10:54 AM

Yeah... Discount Tire Direct > Tirerack. Plus the guys over there recognized me by sight and gave me the Kragen hookup w/ no hassles!

Matt, you should lobby SWE to become a tire wholesaler. Sell truck and racing specialty tires!
