Is there a "best time of the year" to buy tires?

[Andy]

Hi all,

I am in need to buy 4 sets of tires soon. :help Two sets will be all-seasons, the other two will be summer tires. I am wondering if there is a time of the year where Tire Rack, or any other tire shops, offer bigger discounts than any other time of the year. I ask now because Black Friday is upon us and wondering if a few days from now will be the best time to buy.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I would think that any vendor faced with that type of order would be accommodating any time of the year. I like Discount Tire as free shipping and no sales tax already. Bought a set from Discount last week and they gave me a price match plus another $10 off the other vendors price. Got my RA1's from Tire Rack, Nittos from Discount.

I know the Costco Tire Centers run specials quite often that are either $70 off if you purchase 4 tires and they rotate the sale between Michelin and Bridgestone.

Other than that I'm not sure if you are ordering online. I have ordered probably 6 sets of tires off of tire rack and 1 off of discount tire direct.

May I ask why you need 4 sets of tires at once? I'm assuming this is for 4 different cars. 2 are garaged over the winter and that's why you run summers on them?
