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!

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.

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...

http://michelinman.com/dealer-locato...tal_code=92831

USA Wheel & Tire Outlet
1301 Burton St
Fullerton, CA 92831
(800) 901-6003

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....Contact_us.cfm

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)

Edit: Uploaded prices

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

happytheman · 03-14-2012, 01:10 AM

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.

Bullet_proof · 03-14-2012, 11:28 AM

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)

happytheman · 03-14-2012, 12:24 PM

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.
