Ive been ordering tires from Tire Rack for 20 years including from an auto shop I managed. This time ordered on Dec 2. Tire did not show. I had to call 32 times, waiting 20 minutes each time trying to get customer service on the line. Finally, after waiting 36 minutes, they picked up and are shipping a tire overnight. Yaaay. My car only has to sit 4 more days for a total of 10 days due to Tire Racks horrible customer service. It's Friday. They say I'll get it Tuesday. Is that not that great customer service! Buy locally if you need to actually drive your car.

Special Gift for Granddaughter's First Truck
November 18, 2019
Updated review

I was able to find the tires and wheels I wanted easily from a very good selection offered on the web site. The ordering process was no problem and delivery came quickly. Now I am taking them to mount on the truck as a surprise and combination gift that I am sure will knock her socks off.

Despite a mixup on the pricing side, Tire Rack customer service listened to my concerns and "made it right".

Extortion
November 30, 2019

This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a tire company there road hazard is absolutely worthless 2 hours on hold to file a claim only to find out that my tire was discontinued (the tire is 3 months old) and that I am now being extorted into buying a newer version of the same tire to the tune of $82.25 more because they will only give you what you payed for your OLD tire and ignore that 100% thing it says on there website that is a strait up lie they do not include any tax this is a 4 day process that my car is out of commission if you want my advise just buy local discount tire will replace the whole tire and they wont extort you into an upgrade. After 3 calls I finally got to a supervisor everyone I talked to was condescending argumentative and rude sup finally offers a partial discount the funny part is in the time they wasted fighting me they payed twice that to there employees so they are still losing money and my business

I ordered $1300 worth of rims & tires from Tire rack, literally 2 days later the order was cancelled without any notification. I called and they told me PayPal voided it for fraud... WHAT?! So I called PayPal and they insisted they did not void my order. I went back and forth between these two companies for 3 days before a tire rack representative finally told me that they tried to verify my address and couldn't so they marked it as fraud. Why would they not contact my to verify? And why blame PayPal. It's been over. Week and I still haven't gotten my money back. I'm very disappointed & going through another company next time.

We feel one of our responsibilities is to ensure that all charges are made by and approved by the owner of the account that is being charged. We received the order late on Friday 7/12 and were unable to verify that the order was placed by the account holder. We apologize for the frustration and that we could not gain approval for the order. We have requested PayPal to process the cancelation request.

Will NEVER buy from TireRack again. I had to return 2 tires that were never mounted. They would only accept one, claimed the other had "grease" on it. In good faith, I later purchased the 2 replacement tires for these from them to show I was willing to do business with them, still never got a refund for that $420 tire. Horrible place.

We're sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience with us. As we discussed prior to the return, the tire needed to be sent back to us in new condition. Unfortunately, it was returned to us with grease on the bead and inner liner of the tire. This was probably caused by the installer attempting to mount the tire with grease.

We tried to clean off the tire to sell it as new, but the grease could not be removed and would not be acceptable to sell to another customer.

It is unfortunate, but your local shop’s actions made it so the tire could not be resold.

I ordered a pair of Michelin Pilot sports and they are really expensive tires but I got them since they really do perform well all season long. This is my first time ordering any tires from tire rack but now I know to never to but from this site again. I spent almost 300$ on two tires which I thought was worth it since I knew they would last me a very long time, perform well and come with "FREE ROAD HAZARD PROTECTION". But buyers beware do not trust their road hazard protection because shortly after receiving the tires I got a puncture in the sidewall of the tire and immediately went to a local dealership and had one of the service advisers call and verify that the tire was indeed un-repairable and needed to be replaced. So tire rack told me to order and new tire from tire rack and I would be reimbursed. After ordering the tire I was told by the Tire tech to just forward the confirmation number of the new tire order and I would be mailed a reimbursement check. BUT THIS CHECK WAS NEVER SENT. AFTER MONTHS I constantly emailed back telling them I never received a check and then they would tell me they are going to mail a new one. After many months and about 3 or four times of them telling me they would send a new one I gave up and I will NEVER order from tire rack because they basically scammed me. DONT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE.

We verified checks were sent on 1/8 and 3/25 and were unaware of the issues until we were contacted on 4/30. We verified the address is correct and a 3rd check was sent on 5/6/2019. Please let us know if the 3rd check was not received and we can work on a different solution. This is an unusual occurrence and we apologize for the understandable concern this caused.

Twice I ordered from them and got wheels & tires that were out of balance. The first time was just a little off, the last time they were massively out of balance... I took them to CARx and they said they were off by 1.5 to 3 ounces. Thanks to CARx my car drives smooth as butter now. I can't give TireRack.com 1 star because the product seems to be ok, but 2 stars seems fair considering they lie about balancing their wheels. The product seems ok but don't expect them to balance your wheels like they say they do! Factor in another $50 to have your wheels balanced...

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will follow up with our team member who worked with your wheels and tires to see where our procedures were missed. We have reached out to the purchaser to make arrangements to cover the cost of correcting our error. We appreciate your business and will continue to work to improve our service.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I purchased 4 new studded tires with wheels at Tire Rack in
October 2018. I had them installed at a recommended installer. After using the tires for 3 weeks, the recommended
Installer told me that the studs installed into the tires are to short for the tires.

I called Tire Rack told me that they cannot fix this problem
Because I have used the tires, which did not show this problem until after I
Used the tires. I'll never do business with Tire Rack again. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

STILL WAITING!
February 7, 2019

Ordered tires on a Friday for Tuesday delivery (Ct to Buffalo, NY) A week later - NO TIRES!
I call Tire Rack and they say: "We shipped them, not our problem. Call UPS" Really!? Thanks a lot TR. UPS tracking has stated "Loaded on truck for delivery today" for the last 4 days including today and NOTHING! I call UPS and they dont have a clue and suggest I call shipper - tire Rack.

To anyone watching I have done business with and highly recommend SIMPLE TIRE over Tire Rack. Very smooth transactions and FAST, FREE shipping AND actually provide what they promise - A very important thing when it comes to the car you rely on daily... you know, TO GET TO WORK and minor things like that!

I was told that I had to put my order through in order to make any changes because they weren't able to see my shopping cart at that point I proceeded to put the order through only to find out that they did not have what I needed and could not give me the size that I wanted and needed and the size and tire design that I wanted and I could not return the order unless I wanted to pay a $180 for he returned shipping fee. After trying to stop the order from UPS 3 of the 4 tires were delivered now if I want to return them I have to pay the 180 plus the shipping Now after trying to stop UPS from delivering them they deliver 3 out of the 4 tires and now I'm looking at paying between $604 between the shipping of the the tires back plus the restocking fee from tire rack worst absolute worst company out there it's a complete scam after talking to 3 other companies they should have been able look into my cart guide me answer any questions I had which they were unable to do before I gave them any money which was not the case do yourself a favor and don't use this company.

Disappointed
September 16, 2018

After realizing a problem occurred due to no delivery, It was discovered the order was either lost or not processed. It took numerous phone calls to have it reprocessed & finally delivered resulting in an inconvenient & intolerable delay. The new order was broken up into multiple packages instead of just one so it took even longer to get them. All the packages were finally delivered apparently by Mule. The customer service was responsive in correcting the issue & offered a compensatory website credit for the screw-up, however that was never delivered either. The experience was disappointing at best. Would have to say, Total Disaster = Yes, because I was counting on the first delivery to be on time. I had to reschedule my service appointment several times involving more phone calls because of the delays. Unfortunately, I won't be doing business with them any time in the near future.
