Anyone used onlinetires.com?

Has anyone used this company before? I never heard of them, but was searching online for a price to get matched by discount tire.

They have the BFG MT KM2 in 33x10.5-15 for $139.90. Might be a typo. The price for the AT tires in that size is the same. The cruiser needs new shoes.

David, will these fit your Land Cruiser?
They are 265x70x17 Dick Cepk Mountaincat muds from Les Schwab, and the factory FJ Cruiser wheels.
They are close to a 32" tire though, not a 33".

Bought the tires September 11th of 2006, and they were retired July 31st of 2007.
So they have a little more than ten months of usage on them.

My idea was to use them during the winter like I always have in the past with former vehicles, but I never ran them last winter, and my current black wheels held up just fine over winter.

I have a set of five, and all factory locking lug nuts too.

I've used them they are pretty good and have lower prices. I priced a set of 4 bfg ats 31x10.5x15s for $128 a tire.

https://www.onlinetires.com/default....Data=checkout1

Shipping is good too, only like $30 or $40(at least from cali to here in utah) I compared prices with big o and discount and tirerack.com for the same tire. I think

discount http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...c=UTSINT&cs=31was the most expensive then

big o http://www.bigotires.com/TireDetails...G&PartNo=87961

then tirerack,http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...=6&RunFlat=All

and tirerack charges alot more for shipping 90 bucks(and they are even closer to me, said they ship from reno nev). I bought some tires from onlinetires.com a few months ago for my supra and they arrived within like only 2-4 days i dont remeber exactly how many days (again from cali to utah) but I would go with them they seem to have the best prices.

I sure hope they are OK. I just ordered some 33/10.50 KM2s from them! They had the cheapest price that I could find online at $139 each.

I got my 35" KM2s there a couple months ago. Even ordered a few sets for customers through them. Very good to deal with and very cheap shipping IMO.

I got five 35x12.5x15 KM2s shipped to my shop for $908.

Just for reference. Discount Tire wouldn't match the price. It was below their cost.

Then had Walmart install them for $7.50/ea with lifetime balance and rotation.

UPDATE...I got my 33/1050-15 BFG KM2s from onlinetires.com this morning. They arrived in a timely fashion and are exactly as they were supposed to be. I don't know how they can sell this tire for $139, but they do!! I'm happy!!

Damn.. i just got my 35x12.5 KM2s today from tirerack.. I originally called 4wheelparts.com about them, because they had 4 of em for $758 shipped, but they said they were on national backorder, and no one will have them in stock till after christmas, so i called tirerack and they said they would be to my house in 4 days. But i paid $881 for my set of 4..
I google onlinetires.com, and a bunch of warnings, not to use them, from other message boards and whatnot came up, so i decided to. I was gonna order 5 for for a little over $900, but decided not too after seeing bad reviews.

i read the reviews and it only looks like people are having problems with tires for their cars, but looks like the off road tires are in good hands!

Don't buy from onlinetires.com

Don't use onlinetires.com! you won't be satisfied.. they had put a hold on my order and they didn't even let me know until 2 weeks later. My car is in the shop and i was just waiting for the tires to arrive and now 2 weeks later I'm informed their not even coming. very rude people on the phone too.

jonnyboy on here ordered through them, only issue we had was that his card is addressed to oregon, but he lives at the station in california, and had them shipped to my house, took two weeks to get them here, but they got here. I'll use them when these A/t's wear down.

Nope, but could you imagine the price if they did carry them?

Well I bit the bullet and bought me a set of tires from onlinetires.com. I didn't read the reviews until a bit later and had a bad feeling after reading numerous threads about them. I received my tires this afternoon. General Grabber AT2 265-70-15. I will say this though, I got my order confirmation as soon as I paid for it and in the e-mail it said I would receive a tracking number in 48 hours. This was last Monday. On Thursday I still hadn't received one and tried constantly to call but got an all lines are busy message. Even got to the point to leave a voice message but "the inbox you are trying to reach is currently full. Please try again later." I did finally get a tracking order on Friday afternoon and as of today received the tires. Price/shipping costs get an A. Customer service a big fat F.

I will forewarn you though, if you order from them then use a credit card from what I read in the google searches on them. A cc can be refunded after a dispute, a debit card cannot from what I've read.

AVOID OnlineTires.com

OnlineTires.com

You get what you pay for. I was going to order a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers, great price for 315/75 R16's. They don't have just one easily overcome or workable problem, they have MULTIPLE problems.

1) Staff - Rude, ignorant and TOTALLY informed. When I called, I got a, "Yo" type of grunt. I said Hello it said, "What". what a way to represent a business. Eitherway, I got passed that.

2) He/it asked what size tires I wanted, I told it 315/75R16, a minute later it said, "yeah, sure...we got those." My reply was, you didn't ask what Manufacturer or Model. It was apparent it didn't really know or care.

3) I told it what I wanted and the website said they were available, it said, "No, we have to order them, they'll be in tomorrow (Saturday), I stressed to it that their website said they're only open M-F and not Sat. Well it's a good thing I decided to call first...THEY'RE CLOSED SATURDAY!!! I live in San Diego and was going to pick them up, it's about 96 Miles away, WOW glad I didn't just leave.

I read SEVERAL online reviews and all were negative, my thinking was I can tough it out with idiots but, liars and idiots...I draw the line. Glad I didn't pay and get stuck like all so many have.

So, BEWARE of, hell AVOID OnlineTires.com. pay a little more and get what you pay for.

Onlinetires.com

Alright,

After reading some terrible reviews, I've felt the need to post my experience with this company.

After searching around for some decent pricing for some tires, I stumbled upon onlinetires.com.
I did google reviews for the company, to see what popped up, and there's quite a bit of negative feedback on them. I was looking to purchase some 275/40/17's, and onlinetires seemed to have the best pricing, and shipping was only $48.

I CALLED, to verify that they had my size in stock. They did. First two brands I was interested in where sold out, but the said they'd have more within 48hrs. I decided to go ahead and order a brand that already had all four tires in stock.

They guy that took my order was chill, and in no way was an , and told me I should have my tires by today, (Saturday), but I actually received them YESTERDAY, (Friday).

Excellent customer service, and I'd certainly order from them again. I'm not sure if this a company that's a hit or miss, but my experience with them went well, and it sucks that so many people haven't had pleasent experience that I had.

Also, so this doesn't look like I'm a rep for onlinetires.com, take a look below.

I've used them numerous times and have never had any problems whatsoever. Great customer service, excellent prices, good selection and fast shipping. I will be using them when placing an order for new tires for the 4Runner as well as my trucks and my VW's.
