Just noticed that [MENTION=136093]HERE'S_JOHNNY[/MENTION] deleted all the posts about the Amazon sale, I am assuming that means its not going to happen.
Hope no one is going to get screwed waiting for this mystical cheap MTR's for everyone in any size unicorn sale. [MENTION=130999]Inv4drZm[/MENTION], [MENTION=83207]HappyTrails[/MENTION], [MENTION=116387]Unner[/MENTION]
I'm definitely not getting screwed by waiting on this unicorn sale. I'm somewhat optimistic still...
[MENTION=136093]HERE'S_JOHNNY[/MENTION]'s gone.
Like gone gone....
Like none of his posts exist anymore gone...
I noticed this a couple days ago...
Actually now it says he's banned and that he doesn't have any posts... Didn't say that 3 days ago.
That is so F'in weird!!
What would be his incentive to prevent people from buying these tires?
Usually internet scams are rather obvious and have a clear goal, this is definitely strange.

He's gone because he was a liar. In the past year, he's created several accounts stating he's had all of these vehicles but he keeps getting called out by [MENTION=63487]A.Wilson013[/MENTION] haha. He's probably just some 16 year old kid. I wouldn't count on Amazon having a sale.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
When I first placed my tire order, I was only thinking in terms of the $100 rebate and getting the Coopers. Once I'd placed that order, I found myself at the Cooper company website looking for tire pressure info -- where I saw that Cooper itself was offering what appeared to be an ADDITIONAL $70 rebate.
Why not give it a try?
So, I filled out the forms, and submitted the rebate online along with a scan of the receipt I'd received with the tires from DTD. For the last few days, I've been going back to the site to check on the rebate status, and was only seeing 'approval awaiting verification'. Over the years I've had enough problems with rebates to be wary of the whole process, but still it looked like everything was on track for the $70.
Then today March 14, on techbargains.com, I saw a listing for what looked like the same DTD $100 discount, but with some added links to PDF forms which stated they needed to be mailed in to qualify for the rebate. (Link to the TB listing: eBay Coupon Code $100 off Discount Tires Direct Orders $400+ - Techbargains) This got my attention, and since at the bottom of the downloaded PDF was a phone number (1-844-684-7218), I picked up the phone and dialed. The number connects with the company handling the rebate, not Cooper Tire itself. When I got ahold of the rep, she confirmed that since I had submitted online, that I did NOT also need to mail in any additional forms. I then gave her the confirmation number I'd received when I submitted online, she looked it up on her computer, and after a few seconds she said everything was in order and approved my $70 rebate. She said it would take 6 - 8 weeks before a white envelope with 'Citibank' would show up in my mailbox with the $70 debit card.
Bottom line: I got a great set of 'fresh' tires for $366 total, plus a deal on installation. I'm happy with that.
bmodo16 -- I think the tires will be fine for my purposes: no heavy loads, no heavy passengers, just basic everyday around-town driving. After reading your post, I went to the Cooper site and saw that the Max Load for this tire was 2756 pounds, one of the highest listed on that page. Here's the AT/3 link for anyone interested: Cooper Tire & Rubber Company - Discoverer A/T3?. Once you're on that page, click the 'Tire Sizes & Specs' button, then find the tire you're looking for.
