First tire rotation experience

[theblunden]

Yesterday I had my tires rotated and balanced I have a little over 5,000 miles. I tried to schedule a service through my local dealership but is everybody knows It's almost impossible to get an appointment and if you can it's extremely inconvenient with someone that works 7:00 to 4:00 during the week. I end up going to my local Discount Tire and was extremely pleased with the service they provided. I was quoted about $68 for the tire rotation with balancing after speaking to my representative she informed me stock tires still qualified for the replacement coverage that they offer with all the new tires that they sell due to the low mileage on the tire and condition. I paid about $172 out the door for replacement coverage which includes free lifetime balancing/rotations which will pay for itself in three tire rotations and have the peace of mind that if I get a nail on the sidewall I'll get my tires replaced at no cost. I've never had a bad experience with Discount tire and would definitely recommend them to any lightning owners that are looking to add coverage to their tires for that extra piece of mind. Thanks @Discount Tire

Another alternative is to consider getting a lifetime alignment package for $200 with Tires Plus. I discovered them in 2021 when I needed to do a tire rotation on my Tesla MYP. The sales guy was trying to upsell from the $19 tire rotation price and he got me on the hook with free rotations and alignments for $200 for the life of the vehicle. If I want the tires rebalanced, then that's only another $20. Every time I take it in they try to upsell me for $45 for new wiper blades, but I'm in Colorado, so your wiper blades generally last as long as the tires and I just decline.

I'll be taking my lightning there for the same deal.

Yes, I also love @Discount Tire. I just took mine in for a slow leak (nail) and tire rotation. They did a flat fix and rotation for free. We have used them for decades and they always get our new tire business.

I did ask the tech if he rotated them per the Ford manual (move the rear tires to the front, and criss-cross the front tires to the back). He said nope, they always just swap front to back on the same side. He added that manufacturers have come up with some pretty funky rotation patterns but best to swap front to back, same side.

I'm ok with that. But curious what the policy is @Discount Tire.

On another note, I know the Advanced Security Pack that came with the 2022 Lariats works. Shortly after they pulled it into a bay, I got a FordPass Alert that the inclination sensor alarm was triggered.
