Best national tire chain to buy 6 new tires?

This is a lively thread. Had me laughing a few times. Thanks, everyone. I'm going to have them take the very best of the tires that are currently on and put that up as the spare. I'm not going to have a shiny new tire out there on my bumper, for the taking. Plus I think a spare should be a spare. And I'm not made of money. In fact, my sister's putting them on her card and I'm paying her back.

I was thinking about the dually stems. Good idea. How I hate prying off those old Chevy hubcaps to test the pressure. I don't know the size of my tires off the top of my head but I'll check them and get back to you tomorrow. I'd prefer not to have to put the money for a tire repair out of pocket and then get reimbursed but I'll ask around and see how that works.

And I'll ask who will be able to do the tires on a Class C. Thanks, fellow travelers.

Discount Tire provides amazing service.

Discount tire is in Utah with good coverage of dealers

Have seen class C`s and a travel trailer getting tires at Costco in Sandy Ut. They were parked parallel to the building with cones around
for safety. No I do not actually know there policy.

Party Of Five: Good news. Is this with Firestone national dealers or
a great local dealer

Discount Tire does have very good service. I buy their tire warranty for each car I own, including my Sprinter based Class B.

I've asked many times: "what happens if I have a problem where you don't have a dealer", and their answer is to get the tire fixed or replaced, and they will rebate me my costs. I haven't had to do that, but I expect they will live up to their promise.

I've bought a toad set and an RV set from Discount Tire. They're America's Tire in some states. I felt that the price was good, the shop was professional, and that I was treated very well overall. Toad got BFG, RV is Bridgestone Duravis R250. They called the warehouse and verified that the RV tires were fresh manufacture. Didn't worry about toad; we'll wear those out.
Some of the Big Boxes won't work tires on a vehicle they can't get on their lift, over their pit, into their building, whatever. Find one that'll go outside with a jack. Discount will.

Do you have a Spare? If so, make sure its DOT Code is fairly young, even if it's never been on the ground. You don't want to have a flat, 100 miles from getting to wherever, and a spare that blows in 50 miles because it was 15 years old.

And, have the new tires mounted with Dually Valves. CW has them now, and all you need is a Rear Wheel set. For Front and Spare, be sure the tire shop installs metal valves. All but the shortest will reach through the front hub caps/wheel simulators.

Again I repeat get a national brand and then it does not matter where you bought them the warranty will be honored.

Cheryl, for my money, Costco! I just bought a new set of Goodyears (only sold by select stores on a trial basis, but they also carry Michelin, Goodyear, and Bridgestone) from them. I knew what tires I wanted and went to EVERY tire store in my town to get quotes and NO ONE could even come close to Costco. And, they're Nationwide!

I like buying Firestone tires from Firestone, as they only stock tires within 6 mo. If mfg.

No not all states''''

Maybe not all, but they are in Connecticut, Maine, Florida, (Indiana where I live), Texas, Wisconsin, and California. (I didn't check all 50 states. They might not be in "every" state, but they are about a "National" as you can get!

Still, when I bought tires for my camper the last time, it wasn't Discount Tire as they didn't carry the brand I wanted.

OK, you made me check... there IS a Discount Tire in Alaska and one in Hawaii too!
