Discount Tire Direct “has officially sunset” and is now part of Tire Rack, according to Discount Tire officials.
“Discount Tire’s parent company acquired the operations of Tire Rack in 2021,” Discount Tire officials said in a July 17 statement.
“The organization has since been working to combine the best of each longtime leader in online tire and wheels sales into an unrivaled customer experience for online shoppers.
“Discount Tire Direct previously served as an online tires and wheels purchasing channel for customers outside the trade areas of Discount Tire’s 1,200-plus retail stores.
“A seamless transition occurred on Friday, April 12, with all Discount Tire Direct customers notified that Tire Rack would service their future needs and a web redirect from Discount Tire Direct to TireRack.com.
“Discount Tire customers that live near a Discount Tire or America’s Tire retail location can continue to make tire and wheel purchases online at discounttire.com and have their products shipped to one of the company's retail stores.
“Those customers who are interested in having their tires or wheels shipped directly to them or – particularly if outside the store footprint of the company – an installer of their choice can shop and purchase through Tire Rack.”
