How to Buy Tires Online and Ship Them to Your Installer
Buying tires online and shipping them to a local shop is often cheaper than buying locally, and it works anywhere in the country.
1. Find your size and choose tires
Search by vehicle or size on tread4life.com and compare prices, brands and warranties.
2. Choose a shop before you order
Call a local installer and confirm they will mount tires you bought elsewhere. Ask their mount-and-balance price per tire and whether they accept shipped tires.
3. Ship to the shop or to your home
Delivery to a shop's address is common because the tires are ready when you book. Give the shop a heads up so they can expect the delivery. Shipping is free on Tread4Life, with delivery in 3 to 5 business days.
4. Book the install
Typical install pricing includes mounting, balancing, new valve stems and disposal of old tires. Ask for the total out-the-door price.
5. Check pressure and torque
After installation, confirm the lug nuts were torqued to spec and set pressure to the door-jamb number.
