    I agree that responsible parenting is the best option but the fact that it will increase the chance of an accident worries me.

    It's very sad. Loved going to Flag to remind me of home. Very beautiful and was surprised at the altitude the first time. :thumbsup:

    I do love Flagstaff. The mountains of Colorado would probably be the only other place I would want to go.

    I couldn't have said it better. There are plenty of other places that don't support politics that I disagree with.

    I just got a new set of Cooper Discoverer AT/3's from Les Schwab in Temecula they special ordered them since they mostly carry Toyo and their House brand. Drove 1 hour to get them they had all 4 mounted within 20 minutes. I've had nothing but great experiences from LS so I stuck with them even though the drive is far.

    90% of the time, complaints come from people who have never worked at a busy auto service shop. They are rarely quick in/quick out places.....

    The ONLY comment I ever got about spacers from my usual tire shop is the fact their insurance company prohibits them from working on vehicles with spacers. I don't agree with the insurance company's assertion that they are a problem (if installed correctly)

    Get jackstands, a floor jack, and a torque wrench. Then you have total control of time required

    I won't go to another Discount tire again after what they did to my 02 Pre Runner after doing a brake inspection / adjustment and alignment

    When I got my truck back after waiting nearly 3 hrs in their waiting room I was completely shocked at what my truck looked like . They had greasy hand prints all over the drivers door , both fenders and hood . They also had grease stains on my steering wheel and shifter

    I immediately after seeing my truck walked back inside their store and complained to the manager . He had a WTF look on his face and told him lets go outside an see

    I told him this is not a normal 15 yr old truck but a truck that has 56k miles on it (last year) and I pissed off how you took care of my truck . He immediately walks back inside and a minute later he is trying to wipe the grease off with wet paper towels

    I finally had to give him one of my microfiber towels and detail spray to remove the grease and watched him and one of his employees clean my truck

    Since that incident I no longer will do business with Discount Tire

    Les Schwab the place that runs out to you and every person there hussels. I guess I was used to a company that doesn't over book and gets you in and out. Might be worth the drive...

    Was this at a Discount Tire Company or a Discount Tire Centers? Last thing I remember, Discount Tire Company does not do brakes or alignment...only tires and wheels.

    redneck pinstriping, various stickers, not 1 but 2 glade air fresheners because I fart a lot.
    I hope y'all don't kill me but I've been on Treadwright Wardens for 2 years and they've out performed my BFG KO2's by every measure. 29k miles, countless offroad trip and towing a 6000# boat. I'd be reluctant to return to the BFG's even if they cost the same as the Wardens. Just my 2 cents.

    Discount tire online is super awesome. Good prices, super fast and free shipping, and their road hazard program is actually pretty good

    That is not a Discount Tire Policy. I offroad and knock my alignment out quite a bit, get that fixed and rotate my tires when I remember, Discount Still stands behind the tires and policies.

    Making an appt doesn't make your wait time shorter. It just guarentees they have a spot for you. The job takes as long as it does no matter walk-in or appt. Discount is a good company, you had a shitty experience at ONE store.. Again, you don't have anything to stand on to smear the entire company. Hate on your local store all you want.

    Making an appointment doesn't make your wait time shorter? OK? Appointments, reservations sole purpose is to reduce wait times, haha. They're used to assist in scheduling, which discount does a terrible job at. Not sure what's so difficult to grasp ahold of here. You're ok with people/companies not doing what they say they're going to do. I'm not! Seems as though I have higher standards. One last thing, discount tire sucks, Stay Away!
