Buying Tires Online has Become Too Expensive

Remember when buying tires in "the old days of the internet", (2 years ago) was always a good deal? Go to sites like Tire Rack and more times than not, they were less money than your local Charlotte tire dealer. Then sprang up copy cat sites like Tire Buyer, Discount Tire Direct and Tire Monkey. All boasting "free delivery" to your local tire installer.

Tire buyers in Charlotte already know that Carolina Tire is the only place to buy tires. No one has and no one can compete on prices of tires and we're going to prove it to you right now by doing a real world comparison of tire prices at popular online tire sites on very popular sizes and brands like Continental and Michelin brand tires.

We're going to compare the P205/55R16 Continental DWS tires from Tire Rack, Tire Monkey, Tire Buyer and Discount Tire online. All tires were shown delivered to Charlotte zip code 28277.
