Is discountedwheelwarehouse.com legit?
 

I wonder if these guys are legit? They've got mixed reviews, mostly based on customer service...but they're like $100 cheaper per tire! :)

Not sure happy. I only buy from tirerack. :D (support your sponsors)

:iagree:

Yeah yeah! I hear you guys, and believe me...I e been quoting em up on Tire Rack too. :)

"You get what you pay for......................."

I'm just sayin'.

Well, we all know that Tire Rack is a stand-up site. I've bought multiple sets of tires from them.

alex x294 is da man! :tup:

:confused:

I was planning to call them this week to order some Super Sport also.

On Michelin's website, it listed them as one of the dealers...

USA Wheel & Tire Outlet

Address and phone number matches.. So I'm 99% convinced that it is the same store. But call Michelin/Discounted Wheel Warehouse just to make sure.

As much as I wanted to support Tire Rack, the price difference between the two is not little (IIRC $200-ish difference for the whole set)

A question about the tires themselves, has anyone used them on a Z and just how good are they?

What, the Michelin PSS? A lot of the guys run them and love them. In fact Consumer Reports rate the as the best UHP Summer tire available!

Hey Da.Menace, thanks for doing that legwork. You're right, it's hard to justify throwing down a couple two or three hundred dollars per set on the same tire at Tire Rack.

Thanks for the info, will be checking them right away as I'm shopping for rubber for my new wheels. Almost three hundred dollars difference is no joke, and if they are exactly the same product, I don't see anything wrong in going with the best deal.

Please let me know what your experience is like. I am living vicariously through your purchase experience! :)

Hey guys anyone have any experience with Toyo's r888?
I'm really diggin those for my back 19x11 on 295/30r19
The thing is I don't seem to find the size for my front 19x9.5, how bad would it be to use r888's on the back and proxes 4 on the front? (since they're the same brand)

I would stick with the same make and model all around, otherwise you'll likely have sketchy wet/dry handling, noise levels and tire wear. Just my $.02 tho.

alex works at tirerack and he's the one that's been helping me for the last decade. :tup:
the weds and DW's on my Z right now and the SSR's with S04's i bought from Alex...along with snow tires for all my cars and
other wheels, etc.etc over the years.

alex@tirerack.com

or call him at x294. :) tell him kenchan said "hi!"


ask him to do a promo-code "kenchan" and you get 15% off your entire order. lol ;)

Well I just called discountedwheelswarehouse, seems like they're out of stock on Michelin PSS for the stock 19 sizes.

Mr Kenchan, I called Alex and dropped your name, he said I would owe him an extra 15% for knowing you :rofl2:

:icon18:

At was first all like :tup:, but now I'm all like :ugh2:

You had me going there for a sec Ken-San!

:icon18:

:tup: but hey, he does good work. :)

Just wondering if anyone here got in touch with alex about Michelin PSS tires.. and what kind of pricing did they get.

their price is already discounted so i dont think he can cut a better deal.

but what i like about tirerack is they are very reliable and friendly...also they have helped me out when i had warranty issues with one of my summer tires in the past.

After much deliberation, I have chosen to go with Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 245/40 and 275/35 for my Sport Rays through Tire Rack. A nice perk is the $70 rebate offered on Michelins right now!

Kenchan, I have sent an email to your buddy Alex..now let's see if he gouges me for dropping your name! :rofl2:

just ordered a set of 255/35r19 and 305/30r19 Michelin PSS MI for $1374.00 shipped to Florida.
price was at least $280.00 cheaper than the cheapest i could find (Sam's club including $70 rebate), now lets hope they don't take forever...

just thought i should share..

Hey thanks for sharing. What are you hanging your rubber on?

this

Yeah, ur right, here I am waiting on shipping info, go and check my bank account and they had not taken the money, so I call them and supposedly they sent me an email saying that they were out of stock...

Anyway, they're out of pss, out of re11, out of r888's out of invos, out of hankooks, pretty much out of EVERYTHING!!!

So What good is it to be very competitive with the prices if you don't have any supplies in stock... Kind of stupid if u ask me.

Ended up going to Costco and ordering re11's $1346.00 shipped/installed/balanced.

Uhh I see an interesting pedal/chair setup in this picture.... What is it? :icon17:

Lol dude, that's just a sim rig that I have set up in the back of the store for spare time at work. R-seat evo chair, fanatec wheel. Gt5
