SimpleTire Makes Buying New Truck Tires Simple for RVers

Before launching our voyage north to Alaska, we had one last thing to do to prepare. We needed new truck tires.

Hwy 97 Mount Shasta, California

Getting new tires for a rig is way different than getting them for a passenger car. When you’ve been on the road as long as we have, you know what tires work best for your rig and only that tire will do. Unfortunately most shops don’t carry our tire model, so procuring them has always been a chore. Finding dealers on our route, ordering prepaid tires through them, waiting for our tires’ arrival then scheduling an appointment was always a total pain. Until now.

Why We Will Use SimpleTire Again

We have never considered ordering tires online. And Jim has never been inspired to produce such a glowing product review video as this. Then SimpleTire encouraged us to publish an honest review of our experience using their website – just as we happened to be shopping for new tires for our Dodge Ram 2500 pickup.

SimpleTire takes the hassle out of new RV tires. The ability to have our brand of tires shipped and installed anywhere we travel is a major benefit. With SimpleTire we could better time our arrival somewhere by buying the tires online and scheduling a convenient installation appointment at the same time!

SimpleTire.com has a huge inventory of tires for vehicles of all sizes. There’s no more calling around to different shops. Being able to select an installer convenient to our itinerary made our travel plans way easier. This was another one of those cost of lifestyle decisions, and the choice was simple.

We already knew the tires we wanted for our 4WD Dodge Ram 2500, and were happy to see them come up first in the search results at SimpleTire.com, simply by entering our vehicle details.

I was also pleased to see that the prices were right in line with Costco, and cheaper than two major retail chains we called.

  • MichelinMan.com: $225.00 ea. (+ Install Fee TBD)
  • America’s Tire: $220.00 ea. (+ $110 install)
  • Discount Tire: $220.00 ea. (+ $110 install)
  • SimpleTire.com: $219.97 ea. (+ $90 install)
  • Costco Tire Center: $212.00 ea. (+ $80 install)
