I had read several negative things online about United Tires, but here is my actual experience. I…read moredrive a 2026 Tesla Model Y, and my rear driver-side tire punctured twice within 6-7 months. The second puncture was only 8 inches away from the first--just bad luck, I guess. I went to Pep Boys to have it patched, but they told me they couldn't do it because the two punctures were too close together. They quoted me nearly $450 to order and install the original tire, a Pirelli Scorpion MS. I wasn't sure what to do, so I told them to order it, but I decided to search online for other options in the meantime. When I got home, a friend suggested United Tires. I found a new Pirelli Scorpion MS on their website for around $200, tax included. Initially, I didn't believe it and was very skeptical. After doing some research, I learned that while United Tires mainly sells used tires, they also sell new ones. I contacted them to verify the condition and the DOT date; they confirmed the tire was new with a DOT of 3325, making it about 8 months old. I placed the order, and the tire arrived via FedEx within 4-5 days. It didn't have any packaging--just the tire itself with the FedEx and United Tires stamps on it. I took the tire directly to Pep Boys to see if they would install it. They scheduled me for the next day but warned me that the tire had to be brand new. I assured them it was. Upon inspection, the tire showed no damage: the internal sound-absorbing foam was clean, the factory stripes were still on the outside, and the treads were a perfect 10/32. Even so, the clerk at the desk saw the United Tires label and told me that since the company mostly sells used tires, the shop might refuse to install it. I went home and removed all the shipping stickers from the tire. When I returned to Pep Boys the next day, I waited an hour for the installation and this time, no one said a word--most likely because I had removed the stickers. It has been a week now, I've driven about 200 miles, and the tire hasn't displayed any issues. One thing for Tesla owners to note: my car initially gave a "Tread Depth Low" priority notification and felt a bit jerky on Autosteer because the new tire was taller than the worn ones. However, once I went into the Service menu on the touchscreen and performed a wheel calibration reset, everything smoothed out and the alerts disappeared. I can't speak for their used inventory, but the new tire I received was solid. Pep Boys and other retailers were charging double what I paid at United Tires. I suspect the price difference exists because many new Tesla owners immediately replace their default tires with specialized ones, creating a surplus of new stock for Florida drivers like me. It was definitely new and saved me a lot of money. Just my story. Cheers!

I was in and out fairly quick, price was very reasonable, and they said I could come back every 5,000 miles to have my tires rotated for free. I left a very satisfied customer so when I hit a massive pothole last week that resulted in a flat tire and bent rim, I knew exactly where I wanted to be towed. Only there was one problem.... It was around 2p when the ordeal took place and though my insurance company quoted my 2 hours wait for a tow, it ended up being over 3 hours. Central Chicago Tire closes at 5p and the tow truck didn't get to me unitl after 5p. Lucky for me, the tire shop offered to wait for me anyways. I arrived to the shop after 5:30p and one of the owners and an employee were still waiting. I didn't know my rim was bent until they took the tire off my car. It wasn't looking good but the two guys went right to work determined to reshape my rim and trying everything possible. After a good hour of working on it, they decided to reinflate my old tire and put it back on the wheel in case the rim wasn't fully repaired. They didn't want to ruin the new tire. I drove on it a few days to test it out until I could find time to get back to the shop and have the new tire put on. The rim seemed to be fine and when I returned they replaced the tire and I was in an out fairly quickly considering all the other appointments they had. They also replaced one of my tail lights that was out and I walked out without spending a ton of money. It's been a few days and my tire and wheel seem to be holding up and doing fine. I will continue to monitor it but everything looks great. I am very pleased with the service again and will definitely return for any tire needs in the future.

This shop isn't as chaotic or overcrowded as others I've visited, which I truly appreciate.
