Wheels/Tires/Windows w/ A STORY!

Okay, so a few of you have seen that I picked up my 2015 TEP on Friday. I had intentions from the get-go to add a few things such as wheels/tires and window tint. Well, I got all of those things yesterday and got VERY lucky specifically with my tire purchase. Here's why I love Discount Tire.

I stopped by yesterday morning on my way out of town to get my 20" Ballistic Jester wheels put on and had already decided on the Cooper Discoverer ATP's in 275/55-20. When the technician said that they MAY not be done in time for me to get on the road, I asked if I could pay for the tires now and swing in on my way back to get them installed. He said that was no problem.

I paid for my tires ($640 after a $200 credit for my stock tires) and went on my way. I got my windows tinted and headed back to discount tire. When I got there, all was good and I sat waiting until they pulled my 4R into the bay. After a few minutes the manager called me over and says "we're not asking for more money, but I need to ask you something" and proceeded to ask me what I liked about the Cooper Discoverers and when I told him that I liked the aggressive look he asked if I had any interest in the BFG A/T. Immediately I said "I don't like the price" because I saw on the computer that they were $1,377 for a set. He, again, says "I'm not asking for money. . . Do you like them". I immediately said "YES". He then asked if I would mind getting those instead of the Cooper's because an employee had sold them without looking to see that they were already sold to me.

Of course, I said NO I didn't mind. . . and that's how I got a $1,377 set of tires for $640. He informed me that I should probably go purchase a lottery ticket because that was a rare thing to happen.

ANYWAY, sorry for the long spill, but I was quite happy about it.

PS. It snowed again last night. Dropping about 5 more inches of snow on us so sorry for the picture, but its the best I have right now. I'll post more pictures soon!View attachment 147259

You are one lucky guy!

It cost me $1600 for my Toyo M/Ts and I couldn't get anyone within 50 miles to give me anything off....
 
Seems kind of odd that everyone with a Limited that has 20s wants to get 17s but you went from 17s to 20s on a Trail.

Kind of hard to tell from the picture but are those the new KO2 tires or the old KO's?

Yeah, I hear that a lot but it's just the look I prefer. Especially since I don't do any "heavy off-roading". I drive mostly highway miles. They're the new K02.s. I love them because they're so smooth and quiet, unlike the old K02s I had on my Tundra.
 
Same exact thing happened to me when I was buying tires for my VW. I bought the cheaper tires, went into the store, and they gave me a more expensive set because the set I bought wouldn't be in for a couple months.

Discount is great!
 
Happened to me at America's Tire (Same company)- Once with my FJ, and once with my MINI Cooper. They rock. As I tallied how many sets of tires I have bought from America's Tire, I realized it is 34-36 sets in the last 17-18 years. These stories are why I keep going back. Awesome customer service, great product, and creative ways to keep customers happy!

Great story, thanks for sharing!
 
Sometimes company do that to get rid of some stock...... I guess, not too many people going with 20" KO2....

Congrat tho!!
