Buying wheels and tires online - your experience?

I have had great luck with Discount tire, 4wd.com and Treaddepot. I have found the opposite as some I have found tires very fresh as they move such large volumes. Also tires that I have purchased have all been newer popular models ie KO2's, AT3's AT2's R/T etc. I suppose if buying a tire that has been on the market for a while it is possible to get old stock.

I've bought just tires and tires mounted and balanced with tpi sensors through tirerack.com and had great experiences both times.....once shipped to US....and once shipped through APO to Germany while stationed there in the Army......I will probably go with another on line company for my next set of Jeep tires....

Another option...I bought (5) wheels and tires through Anthem Offroad. They only sell their wheels but will package with any tire. Received in 5 days ...balanced and ready to go complete with TPMS and locking lug nut set. They were great to deal with.

Typical lead time is 2-3 business days to your door through Discount Tire Direct, assuming the tires and wheels you want are available through the nearest distribution center. DTD also mounts, RF balances and ships all tire and wheel packages at no additional cost. I'll also point out the DTD gives all JKF members $50.00 OFF their total instantly with the purchase of 5 tires!!

I usually buy online from either: Discount Tire Direct, Tire Crawler, or Tire Rack depending on who has the best price. Most tire shops don't charge much for mounting/balancing/installing depending on the wheel and tire size.

Bought my wheels and tires from Northridge4x4, they were willing to work with me on matching prices i found on amazon. Got my wheels and tires in like 4 business days. Highly recommended, give them a call and see if they will work with you. Good Luck

I have purchased 2 sets online mounted and balanced. No problems at all. I even had to return 2 of a staggered set (for my 67 mustang). Due to my configuration I needed a slightly narrower front tire. They offered to pay half the cost of return shipping and sent me out another set at no cost.
Edit to add: This was from Discount Tire.

Didn't see where it was mentioned, but don't forget that Discount Tire also price matches. Found an online site selling some MT Baja MTZ P3s for $75 less a tire and they honored that price minus the cost of mount balance and disposal. Had them in and on my Jeep in 3 days and I saved $300 and some change.
