Tire Rack Cannot Compete with Carolina Tire on Tire Prices

By Jim Seidel of Carolina Tire

You have a great car and you are internet savvy. You want the best prices on tires and want to do some research before you buy. You are what retailers call an informed tire buyer. At www.carolina-tire.com we pride ourselves on being the low cost tire retailer in the http://www.charlottesgotalot.com/.

Even a giant online retailer like Tire Rack [u]cannot compete price-wise with Carolina Tire.

What we will give Tire Rack a lot of credit for is their information they provide the general internet public. Use that to your advantage for sure.

Ok, so now you are asking yourself how can Carolina Tire compete with Tire Rack on price. There are two very good reasons.

1. We provide service to your tires when installing them.
2. Tire Rack charges you UPS charges to get your tires to you or
your tire installer. These could be between $12.00 to $20.00
per tire.


Let's compare prices ~ tire versus tire to see who wins.

Let's start with a few easy tires and popular sizes.

215/60R16 Fuzion HRi 95H


Tire Rack = $61.00 plus $13.34 per tire shipped = $74.34 x 4 tires = $297.36 (this is Tire Rack's cheapest tire option)

Carolina Tire = $69.33 per tire and $277.32. (Our cheapest tire option is a kelly tire and it is even less than this).

Carolina Tire beats Tire Rack by $5.01 per tire or $20.04 for a set of 4 tires. (I can take my kids out to eat on $20 bucks).

225/60R16 Fuzion HRi 98H

Tire Rack = $64.00 plus $14.22 per tire shipped = $78.22 x 4 tires = $312.88

Carolina Tire = $66.99 per tire and $267.96.

Carolina Tire beats Tire Rack by $11.23 per tire or $44.92 for a set of 4 tires. (I can take my whole family out to eat on $44.92).

How about we switch gears and go by vehicle? The 2008 Honda Odyssey EX. It has a tire size of a 235/65R16 and we'll look at the General Altimax RT.

Tire Rack = $97.00 plus $12.66 per tire shipped = $109.66 x 4 tires = $438.64.

Carolina Tire = $101.08 per tire and $404.32.

Carolina Tire beats Tire Rack by $8.58 per tire or $34.32 for a set of 4 tires.

Let's switch to light truck tires in the most popular size at the 265/70R17 with the Consumer Reports top ranked tire, the Continental CrossContact LX.

Tire Rack = $130.00 plus $22.33 per tire shipped = $152.33 x 4 tires = $609.32.

Carolina Tire = $135.53 per tire and $542.12.

Carolina Tire beats Tire Rack by $17.21 per tire or $68.84 for a set of 4 tires. (What could you do with an extra $70 bucks you didn't have to give to Tire Rack?

Let's go to a 20 inch tire, the 275/55R20 fits a lot of new SUV's.

275/55R20 Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza

Tire Rack = $152.00 plus $23.13 per tire shipped = $175.13 x 4 tires = $700.52.

Carolina Tire = $147.99 per tire and $591.96.

Carolina Tire beats Tire Rack by $27.14 per tire or $108.56 for a set of 4 tires. (What could you do with an extra $110.00 bucks you didn't have to give to Tire Rack?

We could keep going on and on but the end result would be the same; www.carolin-tire.com will beat Tire Rack in a head to head / price to price match up every single time. So if you live in Charlotte, North Carolina and you are looking for tires and you buy them at Tire Rack, you can be assured that you [u]paid too much for for the same thing that you could have gotten over at Carolina Tire.
