Two Big O shops in the Phoenix area had signs saying "Buy 2, Get 2 Free."

It seems like the better the deal, the more restrictive it is. At best it is probably select tires by select manufacturers in select sizes at select locations and of course you pay for all of the services.

However, we couldn't find anything on-line. I had wanted to drive past Big O to see if this location had signs, but I forgot and drove straight home.

They don't show anything of the sort on the website and the cheapest tire they show for my car is the Epic Tour AS, with an unspecified warranty:
Tires: $44.99 each, $179.96 total
Tire tax: 8.00
Disposal fee: $12.00
Mount and Balance: $74.00
Sales tax: $14.58
Total: 288.54

That is cheaper than I have seen, but I am not eager to drive an old car with cheap tires through canyons and over mountains with poor cell service. $108.54 of that total is taxes and fees, 60% more.

I found one thing saying they charge for the roadside coverage, which would be another $40.

In this case 2 free tires would cost $198.54. The most expensive tires they show are Michelin Cross Climate + for $120.99 each. It would be $617.16 out the door, but $462.29 if I only paid for 2 tires, but all of the services.

Of course, if you click for a quote, it takes you straight to scheduling an appointment.
