Giant home improvement products retailer Lowe’s is now selling consumer tires via its own e-commerce portal, lowestires.com.
The company, which is based in Mooresville, N.C., and operates more than 1,700 retail outlets throughout the United States, recently launched the portal, which allows consumers to purchase tires and then schedule installation.
According to lowestires.com, consumers can choose from more than 18,000 installers nationwide.
In a FAQ section published on lowestires.com, Lowe’s officials urge consumers to “enter your vehicle's make, model and year on Lowestires.com and we'll provide a list of tires that are compatible with your vehicle specifications.
“You can refine your search using filters in the search results. For example, if you prefer a certain brand or require a specific performance category, only those search results will be shown. From there, you can read complete product descriptions, tire specs and warranty information.
“The price of the tires includes the cost of the tires themselves. The installation cost includes shipping to the installer and having the tires installed on your vehicle. It does not include tire pressure monitoring system service, which in some instances, may be required.”
Lowestires.com offers filters “to help you choose the best option for your needs. The best tire for you depends on your typical driving conditions. All-season tires are a great all-around option, while winter tires are designed for icy and snowy conditions. Performance tires are ideal for enhanced handling and speed, and off-road tires are built for rugged terrain.”
Shipping to installers will vary, “depending on your location and the availability of the tires. Typically, it takes one to three business days for your tires to arrive at your selected installer.
“We currently ship orders exclusively to our trusted network of local installers. By choosing one of our vetted installers, you ensure a seamless experience with guaranteed installation rates that you pay at checkout. This not only saves you time, but also gives you peace of mind knowing your tires will be expertly installed by professionals who meet our high standards.”
With $83 billion in total sales during 2024, Lowe’s sees “approximately 16 million customer transactions a week” in the U.S., according to a recent press release from the firm.
