That’s a heck of a deal! Does anybody know how their eBay store handles returns if there are flaws?

I’m a little nervous after reading about a lot of vibration/balance issues lately with these.

Go into your discount tire store and tell them about this sale. They will price match it for you.

I did this to get my 285s a year ago hard to beat that deal. Of course my DT store didn't have them in stock but they ordered them for me.

This is what they stated under their ebay group's profile.

We'd like to thank you for being a Discount Tire Direct customer. We would also like you to know that we are proud of the fact that the Certificate for Refund or Replacement is the best coverage in the business. We are the only mail order Tire Company to offer a tire replacement certificate. This certificate covers any type of tire purchased from us, except racing tires. If any tire fails due to a defect or incurs a puncture that cannot be repaired, Discount Tire Direct will replace the tire at no additional charge. This is extremely affordable, and if you use it just once it will pay for itself. How does this all work?

How You Are Covered

In the event one of your tires fails due to a defect or incurs a puncture that cannot be repaired, and there is at least 3/32" of tread depth across the tire, and is less than 3 years from the date of purchase, Discount Tire Direct will replace it at no additional charge, including the freight to you. This is regardless of how many miles you've put on them. We have been offering our Certificate for Refund or Replacement for over 30 years. Nobody in the industry can beat this deal!

You do have to pay to return the damaged tire for inspection...

That’s the problem, no local stores even remotely near me here in PA.

Thanks for the heads up. Been holding off on committing to purchasing these but if I've got till Oct 30, I may have to jump on them. That's a hell of a deal.

Thanks for this, had ordered through the website this morning!! Canceled it and went back in and ordered here, saved +$100!!!

With regard to the tire "insurance" DT sells, I've bought a good number of tires with them and am willing to take the chance and replace a tire out of my pocket if necessary. Never yet been in a situation where I wish I had bought the replacement certificate.

Thanks for heads up!
Been eyeing these, but been waiting until wheels I want were available. With coupon, went ahead pulled trigger.

After two weeks of use and 4 balancing attempts in stock size, I gave up on the Falken AT3Ws and went with Yokohama Geolander AT GO15. These are nowhere near as wide nor aggressive looking but they are the smoothest riding tire I have every used. The Goelanders are 41lbs vs 47 for Falkens. My MPG was down about 1-1.5 with the Falkens but is back to what it was with Geolanders.

If I was living in CO, UT, or somewhere near lots of off-road tracks, I would have kept the Falkens but with a twice a year off-road use, I just cannot live with the vibrations, MPG hit, and hit on power.

I wonder how they can make such a heavy wide tire and sell it for $380? Having said all of the above, they do look fantastic.

And this is my fear.....

I dealt with DT when I lived in Florida and they were awesome to deal with. Now that I’m in PA and don’t have one near me, I’m wondering what happens if I get vibrations after buying online.

Did you try the road force balance before giving up on them?

Plenty of tire places will price match. You just have to ask.

In case it hasn't been posted elsewhere - depending on regional availability, Toyota runs a tire sale every October. I got out the door with my new set of Falkens for $395 and some change for everything (that did include a credit of $200 for my Dunlop take-offs). Bonus is "most" Toyota dealers are going to do a better job of balancing new tires on a Toyota wheel, etc.

I'm in the Rocky Mountain Region, so it's worth checking into.

As far as I know, DT did perform Roadforce. I agree 100%, DT customer service was great. First they ordered 2 replacement Falkens to see if that will resolve the shaking past 62mph(2 of the originals were taking too much weight). Did not help! I have 23K miles on my SR5 with stock wheels.

Initially, I was going to order from Tirebuyer but then thought what if I have issues? Much easier to deal with local shops than someone online even if it costs extra. Glad I went the local route.
