I was nervous about purchasing tires online. Would they provide support if I had any issue? The answer is I should have listened to that voice inside my head. My experience: Last year I purchased Michelin 70,000-mile warranty tires, the best money can buy. Last week while driving in 110 deg weather one blew out, side wall bubble. Now Simple Tires says sorry for your inconvenience we will give you 5% off another tire? I know if I would have been smart and purchased these from Big-O or Discount they would have replaced the tires as they only had 5,000 miles on them. Take my advice go to a real store do not make the same mistake as I did.
