Best place to buy tires?

[Machete]

Brakes done. Now tires. Want Michelin’s but not sure I trust retail tire giants.
Any suggestions?

I researched this extensively years ago when I bought my first set at Sam's and kept coming across conflicting answers. One person would say they're identical and another would say they're not ... round and round. The Michelin rep I spoke to via email said they are the same. I don't know the actual answer, but I've been with the LTX series through 3 sets now and have been pretty happy with them. Actually, outside of mediocre snow performance, they've been fantastic (handling, ride, wear, etc.).

Wait until 9/1 and there's $150 off a set of 4 installed.

I don't think I would trust any answers on QUORA about the tires unless the answer came from Michelin. All the answers on QUORA are submitted by people who may not have any real knowledge but sound convincing.

I am running a set of Mickey Thompsons on my 1999 Ford Expedition. Been the best set of tires I have ever owned (Of course now that I am older, I keep them rotated). Discount Tires has them for $800.00.

Have had good luck purchasing new take offs from people wanting bigger tires, just watch the DOT date codes. Last two digits of code are the year. Picked up a set before I needed them and they only had couple hundred miles on them. Retired now so have time to do this, also have my own tire machine I purchased from a closed shop.
