Review on Giga Tires by Chris Stanisic

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A wide selection of name brand and quality discount tire brands, available for purchase, but.....

It was in the summer of 2019 when I decided that it is time to change my car tires. The old ones were worn out and it was not far from a blow-up so I went to one big tire store in order to get few good set for my car. To be honest, I did not expect much but after several minutes inside the "shop" (more than 10 cars could fit there) and heard prices which made me just mad - well, we can skip this part and go straight to what happened next. It appears that people working there do know the thing or two about selling motor vehicles and they saw me coming:

It will cost for 400 for your car and than you pay every month around 80$

You have three options:

- You pay 100$ today and next month you pay 400$ than the total is 500$



Such stories have nice endings because today I will tell you one about the worst place where I stopped by to buy tires . It was more than 10 years ago when I decided to change my car wheels with new ones. They were old and worn out so it was time to do something about it urgently. Well, it appears that even though I needed new wheels fast, I could wait for a few days or weeks before buying them. And if you know a bit about cars, then you should understand that while there are some types of tires for winter and summer, then there is one more type which can be bought just before the actual winter or just after the summer season (the time when people actually need winter or summer wheels). So I was in such a situation.

One day (or week) passed by and I decided to go to tire shop which was not far from where I lived at that time. One might say "well, why would somebody wait for too long? It does not make sense". The thing is that it makes perfect sense because if you want good and durable tires (especially if they will be used on differently driven cars like mine) then you should change them in time. For example, I was driving with worn out summer tires during winter and it is never a good idea because of lack of grip on the snow or slippery ice surface . The price I was asked at that shop for new wheels was also right so it looked like I have made a right choice.

They took care of me well, I paid for winter wheels (they even had summer ones if needed) and went home to wait until they are mounted properly. At home, my beloved Mazda 121 was parked next to our house so it did not look so bad but after some time passed by...



It appears that either rotors are too wide or there is something wrong with calipers my car because all four wheels would not be mounted at the same level. All of them were pretty much in one line which was not OK for me because I would drive like that only on a drag strip )))

Most people would probably return to the shop with such issue but it is not when you are overreacting (and when they tell you that it looks normal). So after several hours passed by, I decided to return to this tire place and ask what is wrong with my wheels. They looked at me in strange way and said something like "we will look at this" before telling me to wait again...



Pros
  • * Free shipping on orders over $75
  • * Fast, low-cost shipping from warehouses across the United States
  • * Full line of MICHELIN®, BFGoodrich®, Uniroyal® and Goodyear® tires
Cons
  • The tires that "looked" like they would be perfect for my car turned out to be the opposite of what I needed them for
  • Not only did they make up the prices, I also had to wait and continue waiting and waiting and waiting (I don't want to write something like "almost forever" because it is too dramatic)
  • They were good at their job but they did not fool me.
  • I bet there are people who fall for these tricks and I'll be writing an article about how to trick customers.
